The application period (bachelor thesis, central allocation) has ended. For dealyed applications please contact ➨ Econ Office.
Since our capacity for supervising bachelor's theses is limited, your application does not guarantee that you will get a place. We will let you know promptly whether you have received a place for the bachelor's thesis (see schedule).
