Qualification objectives

The master project consists of a master thesis and a colloquium.

As part of the master's thesis, students work independently on a problem from the fields of Management, Business & Information Systems and Computer Science to develop proposals for solutions that are well-founded in science and suitable for practical application. In this way, students demonstrate that they can grasp and structure research issues and correctly derive theory-based results using scientific methods.

The colloquium examines whether the students can present the results of their Master's thesis in a scientifically sound manner and discuss them with the reviewers at a high professional level.

For the concrete procedure of the master's project at the universities of the consortia, students have to check the specific exam regulation. Furthermore, students will receive a handout about the procedure and the exam regulation of the master's project from each university of the consortia.
