Multiple registrations

Multiple registrations are allowed. You can freely register for the various preregistration clubs from Finance, Statistics and Mathematics and the accounting fields. If you receive a topic from more than one field, you will be informed and then have to choose a topic within 48 hours. The rejected topics will be passed on to students ranked on the waiting lists.

Further information

• Our department does not offer a specific course in Academic Writing (Standards wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens und Zitierens/Grundlagen rechtswissenschaftlichen Arbeitens). It is sufficient to take one of the academic writing courses (Standards wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens und Zitierens/Grundlagen rechtswissenschaftlichen Arbeitens) in any department (WISO/WIRE), or to complete the Introduction to Academic Writing course (BBE).

• Once the topics have been assigned, a kick-off meeting takes place in November or April to discuss the requirements for the Bachelor thesis. 

• If you are having trouble registering, please contact bachelorarbeiten-accounting@wu.ac.at.

• If you have any further questions about the Bachelor thesis, please contact sbwliamc@wu.ac.at.

• In the new allocation system, NO postponement of the bachelor thesis to subsequent terms nor seat reservation is permitted. By registering, you explicitly declare that you want to write your bachelor thesis in winter term 2025/26.
