AUTUMN 2022
Bachelor and master’s students who want to graduate in the autumn semester by writing the thesis must submit the final thesis project proposal form by May 31, 2022, the latest in Canvas.
We are in the process of updating the final thesis process to make it more transparent and easier to manage.
The main changes are:
- The final thesis proposal is to be submitted in the Canvas course (The final thesis proposal autumn 2022) where students can enroll themselves.
- The supervisor approves the final thesis proposal in Canvas.
- The proposal form is no longer a Word document, but a form that must be filled in a special environment and submitted as a Canvas assignment.
Here is some info to help you continue in the process:
There are 3 departments in EBS: Marketing and Communication, Management and Economics, and Finance.
You can find the lists of potential supervisors and areas of topics here:
• Economics and Finance (Links to an external site.)
• Management (Links to an external site.)
• Marketing and Communication (Links to an external site.)
When contacting a potential supervisor, give a brief summary of what you are going to write.
-
- the wording of the topic of the work as precise as possible;
- the problem you want to solve;
- objectives of the work;
- importance/originality of the work;
- research methods.
