International Management (CEMS MIM)

Master thesis

The master’s thesis, which carries 15 ECTS credits, is written towards the end of the programme. It is intended to show that the student is capable of conducting academic work on and reflecting on a specific problem related to the subject matter covered on the programme, using the necessary methods and within a specified period. Group master’s theses are also permitted provided a clear distinction between and assessment of each candidate’s contribution is possible. Objective criteria that make a clear distinction possible, such as sections, page numbers or topics, are used to indicate which student made which contribution. The total workload required of each group member must exceed the requirements for individual masters’ theses to an appropriate extent. The difficulty and content of a group thesis must meet the same requirements as for theses undertaken individually and independently. The contribution made by each individual must meet the requirements for masters’ theses. The master’s thesis must be written in English. Students must take no longer than three months to write their master’s thesis. Detailed and further information concerning the master’s thesis is included in the Examination Regulations.
