Starting in the 2025/26 winter semester, all supervision places for bachelor's theses at the professorships of Business Administration, Computer Science and Industrial Engineering will be allocated via a centralised procedure. (Exception: Bachelor's theses with Prof. Schumann – if you are interested, please contact the professor directly). In future, applications for supervision will no longer be made to individual professors, but only via the central procedure. WIPÄD students who wish to write their Bachelor's thesis in their minor subject should apply directly to the respective professors of the minor subject as usual.

Please note that the chair supervises academic theses only; practice-oriented theses are not offered.
