Application for the Master Thesis supervision: Information about the specific application deadlines and schedule of the Master Thesis seminar is always uploaded in the course of the previous semester. You can use the information on the websites of previous semesters as a guide. The application deadlines are usually March 15th for the upcoming summer term and September 15th for the upcoming winter term. We always recommend you to apply at several chairs at the same time. There is no guarantee that you will be offered a place at your preferred chair/the BIM chair. We supervise a maximum of 10 Master theses per semester, which is far more than we have capacity for.
Note:
Changes in course offer
With the rearrangement of the faculty’s study programs (starting in winter term 24/25), International Corporate Strategy is no longer offered in the winter term, but in every summer term. This change will take place as follows:
- International Corporate Strategy will be taught as usual in the upcoming winter term 2024/25.
- In the summer term 2025, International Corporate Strategy will be taught in the new system for the first time. From this semester onwards, International Corporate Strategy will no longer be taught in the winter term, but only in the respective summer term (i.e., no lecture and no tutorial in the winter term 2025/26). There will be no lectures/tutorials and no exam for Cross-Cultural Management.
- After shifting International Corporate Strategy, Cross-Cultural Management will be taught in the winter term (starting from winter term 2025/26).
Research semester in ST25
Prof. Schlägel will take a research semester in the summer term 2025. This means that no Scientific Project will be offered in the summer term 2025. The next Scientific Project will be offered in winter term 2025/26. The International Corporate Strategy lecture and all Bachelor and Master Thesis Seminars will be offered as usual in the summer term 2025.
All changes at a glance:
- WT24/25: International Corporate Strategy
- ST25: International Corporate Strategy (no Scientific Project and no Cross-Cultural Management)
- WT25/26: Cross-Cultural Management
- ST26: International Corporate Strategy
The thesis supervision (Bachelor/Master) is offered every semester, independent from these changes.
Information about exams at the BIM chair:
The International Corporate Strategy exam is offered every semester, even if the lectures/tutorials are not offered (retake exam open to all). The Cross-Cultural Management exam is only offered in semesters where the lectures/tutorials are taught (every winter term from WT25/26 on).
