Starting in the winter semester 2024/25, all bachelor and master theses at the MSM will be allocated to the departments through a central assignment process.

The Chair of Microeconomics and International Economics primarily supervises theses in the field of Industrial Organization. Further information about the procedure and requirements can be found in the document Informationen zu Abschlussarbeiten (in German).

In the summer semester 2026, we are offering two dates for the Colloquium: July 22/23, 2026 (exact schedule to be determined) and September 16, 2026.

To participate on one of these dates, the thesis must be submitted no later than three weeks before the colloquium. The latest submission date for the colloquium on 22./23.07.2026 is 02.07.2026, and for the colloquium on 16.09.2026 it is 26.08.2026. In addition, registration is required. This must also be completed no later than three weeks before the respective colloquium date by sending an e-mail to the chair’s office (Lehrstuhlsekretariat).

Further important information on writing theses as well as on the colloquium can be found in the Moodle course Abschlussarbeiten VWL.
