If you are interested in writing your Bachelor’s Thesis at our Department, we encourage you to get in touch with us. You can find a list of potential thesis supervisors and the respective topics on which they supervise Bachelor’s Theses here:

Institute for Intercultural Communication (ICC)

Institute for Language and Discourse in Business (LDB)

Institute for Strategic Organizational Communication (SOC)

You could also approach other faculty (not listed) with potential ideas for a thesis who could act as co-supervisors in conjunction with a main supervisor from the below list.

Once contact has been made, you will make further arrangements with your supervisor. This will involve discussing possible topic ideas as well as specific requirements relating to the structure, approach or methodology used in your thesis. You may also be asked to prepare a proposal on your chosen topic and formulate a research question. Only after the topic and proposal have been approved by your supervisor will you be given the go-ahead to write your thesis. In general, a bachelor's thesis will consist of a body of about 8,000-10,000 words and include a list of references/bibliography.
