General information
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to show the ability of a student to discuss a problem or a subject in statistics or econometrics in a scientific way.
The bachelor thesis covers a maximum of 15 pages text. Extensive figures and tables should be deferred to the appendix. The appendix is not included in the page limit.
The final grade is based on the written thesis (70 percent) and the final presentation (30 percent).
Students should choose their topic on their own. The topic should be discussed in advance with the supervisor. For an empirical thesis, students need to find, process and handle the datasets themselves.
Students have to submit a printed copy and an electronic version (pdf-format).
The bachelor thesis and the presentation should be in English (but German theses and presentations will be accepted as well).
