- based on a suitable theoretical foundation, analyze the issue in an abstract and generalizable manner.
- apply the standard methods of business psychology to address the issue.
- scientifically evaluate and reflect on relevant contributions to the topic found in the literature.
- and develop working hypotheses and approaches to solutions from them.
- develop an appropriate empirical design for testing the proposed hypotheses
- and, if possible, carry out an empirical survey.
- They will be able to apply the theoretical, methodological, and argumentative skills acquired during their studies
- and present their results precisely, concisely and in compliance with scientific standards
- and thus, expand the current state of research.

Module content:
The bachelor´s thesis addresses relevant, subject-specific research questions that are to be agreed upon between the student and the advisor and are to be addressed using empirical methods. The topic may relate to a practical issue (e.g., in collaboration with a company or government agency) and/or a theoretical issue (e.g., in collaboration with a research institution). If possible, a separate empirical study should be carried out. It is also possible to use company/project or research data if students have access to the data. Students have 12 weeks to write their thesis.
