Additional support for seminar theses

In this way, we are not only providing students with additional resources but are also taking the special pandemic situation into account, in which students were and are faced with particular challenges.

For Bachelor Students, we will hold an additional mid-term consultation session, in which key topics relevant to sucessfully complete their thesis will be revisited and students will additionaly have the opportunity to raise further questions or queries.

For Master students, we will be offering additional online on-demand consultation encompassing further topical and method-specific coaching.

Any interested students can contact Daniel Pauser, research assistant at the Chair of International Business, directly to register or make an appointment (daniel.pauserspam prevention@uni-tuebingen.de).

Individual mentoring for quantitative bachelor's and master's theses

For empirical Bachelor's and Master's theses, we offer personal support with questions and problems regarding the structure, data collection, and/or quantitative analysis and evaluation, especially, but not exclusively, when using the statistical software STATA. Regardless of whether you are still brainstorming or have already reached your conclusion, we are available to advise you in one-to-one meetings – separate from your subject-specific requirements and arrangements with your supervisor.
We offer weekly consultations on Tuesdays, from 2-5 pm. If you would like to take advantage of this support option, please register in advance with Laura Radatz laura.radatzspam prevention@uni-tuebingen.de or Sophia Jung sophia.jungspam prevention@uni-tuebingen.de.

Academic Coaching

Selection and accreditation of courses for the semester abroad

The confirmation for the semester abroad is finally here! During the pandemic, many students could not or did not want to do a semester abroad. In the coming winter semester, more students will go abroad again. But what do you have to consider organizationally? One of the most important points is course planning. For the courses taken abroad to be accredited at the home university, a few things should be considered.

Therefore, on Friday, December 2nd, at 10 a.m. (Lecture Hall 22, Kupferbau), we will offer an information event on course selection and accreditation, in which we will explain what to consider when selecting courses before the semester abroad and how the courses can be successfully accredited after the semester abroad. Registration and information at  raphael.moritzspam prevention@uni-tuebingen.de.
