Master's Thesis Submission
Master’s theses are scientific papers that serve to demonstrate the ability to work on scientific topics independently and in a way that is justifiable in terms of content and methodology. The topic of the chosen Master’s thesis must be written within the framework of the chosen specialization and thus has an interdisciplinary character.
The Master’s thesis is supervised by a supervisor from the University of Graz and a co-supervisor from TU Graz.
The topic, the specialization to which the topic is assigned, the supervisor and the co-supervisor of the Master’s thesis, have to be announced by means of a form at the Student Services Center of the School of Business, Economics and Social Sciences before starting the work. The completed form has to be submitted by email. Approval of the topic, the supervisor and co-supervisor is given by the Dean of Studies.
The topic and/or the supervisors can be changed until the submission of the master’s thesis. However, the change must be announced using a form by means of a form with a new request in the Dean’s Office via email.
