Students writing a Bachelor thesis in Economics are required to show that they can work independently on a topic within the context of their courses in (International) Economics. Therefore, your task is to discuss a narrowly defined research question and/or improve the understanding of a specific economic problem. 

Supervision, discussion.

The bachelor seminar constitutes the formal framework in which the supervision of your thesis-work and presentation of your results is organized.Several meetings  where you discuss the (technical) requirements and the first idea about the topic of your thesis, approval of the base paper and agreeing on a concrete plan for your thesis work, discussion and presentation of  the results of your work.

Most papers you will need for your work are available from JSTOR, EconLit or through a search on the internet. A widely used resource is http://scholar.google.com/ which also allows to find reverse citations. Access to JSTOR, EconLit, and other copyrighted resources may only be available from computers on campus, the library, or through VPN.

You are required to present the results of your thesis as part of the bachelor’s seminar in front of your colleagues.You need to send an essentially complete draft of your presentation to your supervisor through email at least 5 working days prior to your presentation date. The presentation quality determines your seminar grade, not the thesis grade.
