Master Thesis Handbook

This guide summarises the most important provisions for academic and examination regulations

as well as those regarding especially the master thesis, so that a master thesis writing handbook is

available to students.

STARTING A MASTER THESIS

Students may start their master thesis when they have already earned 60 ECTS credits through

examination (irrespective as to whether they have already gained them from this course or if they have

been carried over from previous studies.) These 60 ECTS must include the “Methodological Studies”

modular exam.

MASTER THESIS TOPIC

Students should choose a topic that interests them, since they have to work on it. This topic must

come from one of the subject areas found in the curriculum.

In the MBA General Management programme, the topic may also come from one of the elective

courses that has not been selected as an examination module. For example, a potential master thesis

topic could be company X’s strategic management even if the student has not taken the “Strategic

Management” module.

In MBA General Management programmes with curriculum-determined specialisations, the master

thesis topic must come from the specified specialisation. This means that in a General Management

programme focusing in Real Estate Management would require a master thesis written in the area of

Real Estate Management.

The Public Management programme master thesis must accordingly be drawn from the field of public

administration or from possible applications of other outside knowledge in the public administration

area.

For those who are undecided, it is of course possible to look up the list of suggested topics (which can

Master Thesis Handbook

GETTING AN INSIGHT INTO PRIOR MASTER THESES

You can ask about already processed master thesis topics by email (maximum 3 theses per request.)

Please find these on the mailing list under ‘Documents’ on „CAMPUS“.

Additionally each master thesis can be viewed at wwlibs, as soon as this function is made generally

available.

SUBMITTING A TOPIC (DETERMINED BY STUDENTS)

When a topic has been decided upon the student should then work upon a relevant concept and

forward a proposal to Student Services ([email protected]).

This proposal, which may consist of a maximum of 5 pages, must include the following:

- A working title for your master thesis

- Presentation of a problem (the problematic)

- Aims of the master thesis

- Research questions

- Planned methodical approach

- Composition and structure of the thesis (rough structuring)

- Provisional schedule

- List of literature to be used

In order to be accepted, the working title and problematic of the dissertation as well as the aims need

to be included in the concept.

ACCEPTANCE OF A TOPIC (DETERMINED BY SUPERVISOR AND STUDENTS)

A student will be informed when a supervisor has accepted his/her topic, in the form it has been

submitted. A student will then also receive the contact details of his/her supervisor so he/she can get

in touch with the supervisor directly. Once the topic has been accepted, it can then be uploaded by

students onto „CAMPUS“ under ‘Master Thesis’.

SELECTION OF SUPERVISORS

Students are free to look for the supervisor of their choice on the supervisor list (which can be found

on „CAMPUS“ under ‘Documents,’) who they will be able to nominate when they submit their topic

proposal. Student Services will then ask the students’ preferred supervisor on behalf of the student

before any other alternatives will be looked for. It is also possible for us to accommodate the wishes

(30)

Master Thesis Handbook

MASTER THESIS DEVELOPMENT

If a supervisor doesn’t have his/her own particular preferences regarding citation or other facultative

formalities, (which, essentially, should not significantly deviate from the regulations relating to the

courses, examinations and master thesis) the guidelines regarding the course and exam regulations,

especially those in appendices 1 to 3, should be used.

This means that if the supervisor does not have his/her own appropriate alternative guideline in place,

the following rules and regulations are to be observed.

General rules:

- A 6 month time frame in which to complete the master thesis (which may possibly be extended to

12 months if requested)

- A total length of 70 to 90 pages (purely of text, i.e. without attachments, tables etc.)

Structure of the master thesis

- Title Page

- Affidavit

- Lock flag

- A table of contents with page numbers

- A list of abbreviations and acronyms

- The text of the thesis (introduction, body, summary)

- Bibliography

- Table of figures (optional)

- List of tables (optional)

- Attachments and Appendices (optional)

Master theses will typically be divided in to different sections or chapters.

Headings

(31)

Master Thesis Handbook

Figures, Tables, Abbreviations:

- Figures and tables are to be numbered consecutively, with a brief description under each image

(e.g. Fig. 10: Market Orientation in the Administration)

- Figures and tables which have been taken from external sources, either modified or unchanged,

should be shown in the list of figures or tables.

Attachments or Appendices

Material that is non-essential to the overall comprehension of the main body (e.g. legal text) may be

summarised in an attachment. Attachments and appendices are to be numbered separately from the

rest of the text.

Spacing

- Two lines should be always left before headings.

- Two lines should also always be left before subheadings.

- One line should be left beneath all headings.

- One line should be left free between paragraphs that handle different ideas.

- However, a line should not be kept between paragraphs that are a continuation of the same idea.
