Abschlussarbeiten
(Free capacities: from July 2025 for Master's theses)
The department of Digital Transformation and Entrepreneurship offers students of economics at Saarland University the supervision of their thesis at all drawing dates of the Economics Examination Office. However, in order to be able to guarantee you high-quality supervision, the allocation of topics requires free supervision capacities. All interested parties are therefore requested to apply using the documents described here.
Application process
Students must apply for a thesis at the Department of DTE at least two months before the examination office's deadline (Ziehungstermin).
The application deadline is the first Wednesday of each month!
By the second Wednesday of the month, you will receive feedback from us as to whether you are a suitable candidate for a thesis at the department of DTE and, if so, the contact details of the supervising research assistant to discuss the next steps.
The aim of this procedure is to provide a fairer, more efficient and better supervision of theses. Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation!
Note: A thesis place cannot be guaranteed.
