Write your Thesis at the CSM –

Get in touch with us now.

We encourage students from all WHU programs, who intend to write a thesis on a topic within our research domains, to discuss their topic idea with us. In order to ensure a structured discussion and to identify an appropriate supervisor, we ask all interested students to formally submit a CV and a one page proposal to kerstin.forword(at)whu.edu according to the timeline of the examination office. This include the following components:

  • Working title
  • Brief summary of research idea 
  • Explanation of relevance to academia and/or practice
  • Brief statement of motivation

We will then provide timely feedback on your thesis proposal and will, in case of acceptance, confirm it with the examinations office (‘Prüfungsamt’) at WHU.
