Der M.Sc. SAS ist ein Master of Science-Programm. Es bereitet Studierende - neben anderen m?glichen Zukunftswegen - darauf vor, eine akademische Karriere an einer Uni zu verfolgen oder in einem provaten Forschungsinstitut.

Daher umfasst SAS eine Modulgruppe, die es Dir erlaubt, Deine Skills im Bereich der Forschung zu verbessern. Du kannst zwei von derzeit vier angebotenen Forschungsseminaren ausw?hlen, um die erforderlichen 12 ECTS zu erzielen.

Four months (24 ECTS), typically in semester 4, that is, towards the end of the SAS program.

Information regarding the registration process for your master thesis is available from the exam office: Prüfungsamtes.

For the supervision of your master thesis you will typically contact a Professor in management (BWL). You may also address a request to the exam commission (Prüfungsausschuss) in case you wish to have another Professor from a different field as your supervisor (e.g. VWL, Soziologie, Politik). If so, you also need to obtain a "Betreuungszusage" (i.e., the confirmation of the willingness to supervise your work) from the Professor from the different field and include it in your demand to the exam commission. Your demand can be made by email.

It is in many cases possible to write your master thesis in cooperation with a company, a government agency, an NGO, or other organizations. The process needs to be coordinated by a chair (Lehrstuhl), typically by your supervisor.

Please note: The master thesis must in any case be supervised by a professor from the University of Bamberg!
