Manual for the application for supervision of the thesis

Anyone wishing to write a thesis at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics must first apply for supervision via the responsible examination board using the procedure described below.

The deadline for submitting your application is March 15 if you intend to write your thesis during the summer semester, and September 15 if you intend to write your thesis during the winter semester. It is not possible to submit an application after the deadline. Incomplete applications or application with missing information will not be processed!

Please note that the individual professors can have additional pre-requirements for supervising your thesis. Only if you match these requirements, you may write a thesis at this professorship. Please check the individual professorship websites, if your preferred professor(s) have any additional requirements.

Note: Please use a PC or laptop to submit your application. Mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.) may cause problems when submitting applications.

The application for supervision of the thesis must be submitted using the form provided. To do this, you must log in with the access data of your student account (euv12345) under the following link:

  Please note that at the time you submit your application for supervision of your thesis, you do not yet have to meet the requirements for admission to your thesis. You only have to prove this when you separately apply for admission to the thesis at the examination office (see step 2).

• Fields no 6 to 9: (preferred supervisors/ priority fields): Indicate here the professorships with which you would prefer to write your thesis. If you do not get a place with one of your preferred professorships, you will be assigned a supervisor by the chair(wo)man of the Examination Board.

• Field no 10: To submit the application, you must click on "Submit". By submitting your application, you declare that you meet the requirements for admission to the thesis in the relevant semester or that you will meet these requirements at the latest when you apply separately for admission to the thesis at the Examinations Office (see step 2).
• Field no 11: The confirmation will state when you submitted your application. If you have successfully submitted the application, you will also receive a confirmation email. The confirmation email will also contain a link that you can use to change the information in your application before the deadline (March 15 or September 15).

After the application deadline (March 15 or September 15), you will be automatically informed by email about the acceptance or rejection(s) of the supervision. Separate inquiries about the status of the procedure are therefore not necessary!
