Please note the following information:

Since the winter semester 2016/2017, the Department of Law has been participating in the faculty-wide distribution of topics for final theses. Further information can be found here.

Supervision by the Chair of Business Law (Prof. Dr. Stefan Müller) also requires attendance and participation in a preparatory course and colloquium, which is offered to accompany the preparation and processing of a thesis, as well as compliance with the conditions for the processing of Bachelor's and Master's theses compiled by the Chair of Business Law in a guideline.

Prof Dr S. Müller and the academic staff will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

 

Formal information on the final theses

Guidelines from the Examinations Office on the electronic submission of theses:

"Students must

  • submit their thesis in PDF/A format
  • on time (it is the receipt of the e-mail in the Examinations Office that counts, not the time of dispatch!)
  • from the address of your university account
  • in one (= 1) e-mail(all recipients in the "To" field)
  • to the examiners (not other persons of the chair, i.e. supervisors or secretariats) via their university e-mail addresses
  • and the responsible clerk of the examination secretariat

to be sent.

Electronic submission replaces the submission of printed versions (examiners can also request these for themselves, but cannot demand them). Those who wish to continue submitting printed versions can do so without also sending an electronic version to the Examination Secretariat. (either - or!)

The (correct) receipt of the thesis is generally not documented by the Examinations Office by e-mail, but in PAUL (under "My examinations" below the thesis). Of course, this is not done around the clock (as is not the case with printed versions), but as quickly as possible during normal office hours.
