Preliminary note

Due to the high demand for Bachelor's theses at the Institute of Human Resource Education & Management, the following regulations have to be made until further notice in order to ensure a plannable and as smooth as possible process of the assignment procedure of Bachelor's theses.

Structure of the Bachelor thesis

In addition, successful attendance of the freely selectable (pro-)seminar "Research Methods" at the Institute of Human Resource Education & Management is required for the acceptance of a Bachelor's thesis.

The number of Bachelor's thesis topics to be assigned depends on the supervisory capacity of the Institute of Human Resource Education & Management.
