We welcome Bachelor and Master students to write their thesis at the Institute for Marketing and Customer Insight. We generally offer students a choice from a variety of topics for bachelor’s or master’s theses.
Bachelor & Master Theses
We offer a range of exciting marketing topics for bachelor's and master's theses and provide complete supervision, from the choosing of a subject through to submission.
Process
Students can find the topics in the list below. If we do not have a suitable topic advertised, a proactive application is possible. Please familiarize yourself with the research areas of our professors and PhD students and address your proposal (see questions below) to the person who best fits your research project. Supervision of topics from outside this list is possible only to a limited extent.
Before you begin, please make sure that you fulfill the following requirements:
- Make sure you know and comply with the rules and regulations of the Dean’s Advisory Office concerning your specific program.
- Be ready to start working on your thesis (more than 50% share of work time per week) within the next three months.
- Be willing and actively plan to complete your thesis within nine months after you’ve started your work.
If you fulfill the above requirements, we invite you to continue with the application process.
Sign-up process:
- Fill out the form below: This form requires you to write a first draft of your outline. To ensure a successful outcome, we ask you to take enough time to do this and follow our guidelines.
- Confirmation e-mail: As soon as you submit your details you will receive a confirmation email.
- Feedback on the Evaluation: You will receive feedback on your outline, including the decision on whether or not we will supervise your thesis. Please bear in mind that we cannot accept all applications since we have limited capacity.
- Appointment: hould you receive positive feedback: meeting & completion of your outline. As a general rule, “feedback” takes the form of an invitation to a personal appointment with your future supervisor. After this meeting, you will revise and resubmit your outline draft along with your filled-out and signed sign-up sheet (see Dean’s Advisory Office web pages) via email to your supervisor. We will print out your registration form, physically sign it and return it to you so that you can submit it to the Dean’s Advisory Office. On request, this can also be done by email.
Topics
The Competence Center for Art+ offers a new master thesis topic at the interface between art and technology: For some time now, there has been talk of NFT’s everywhere – also in the art market. But what role do NFT’s really play in the art market? How did the technology come about? How did it become part of the art market? Under what circumstances are NFT’s art at all? (How) do they change the (traditional) art market (supply, players, structures, etc.)? What (new) parallel markets are emerging? This master thesis investigates the relevance of NFT’s for the traditional art market and explores future scenarios. On the one hand, it includes a market analysis about the technology’s entry into the art world and its current role in the (traditional) art market. On the other hand, it requires an exploration of future scenarios for NFT’s in the art world. The Competence Center for Art+ welcomes applications from students with a great enthusiasm for art and technology, a structured and independent review of market developments, and a passion for exploring the future of NFT’s in the art market.
