Thesis supervisions for students of the Major BWL, Major IBAE, WiPäd as well as the Master's programs LBS Wiwi and Management & Entrepreneurship, Management & Sustainable Accounting and Finance, are allocated at Leuphana University of Lüneburg via a central application process in myStudy.

The professors who supervise final theses in management and business administration participate in the application process. Courses are set up in myStudy for each participating first examiners.

The central application process provides fixed registration periods. These can be found in the following overview:

After the registration period ends, the first examiners will decide. Once the decision to supervise your thesis has been made, you will be moved from the waiting list to the registration list of the course of your first examiner and informed accordingly via myStudy message. This corresponds to a confirmation of supervision. The supervision commitment is binding for the corresponding semester.

The myStudy guide and the FAQ will clearly guide you to the courses and provide you with all important information on the application process.

It should be noted that professors can also have their staff carry out the supervision - if this makes sense in terms of content and capacity. Even if the content-related agreement remains the most important criterion, a certain thematic flexibility of the students is still required. There can be no claim to be supervised by a specific first examiner. Please note the prerequisites and required documents mentioned by the respective professors in the myStudy courses as a main condition for a commitment.

Please note that the supervision commitment is limited to one semester is valid for the upcoming semester. Therefore, participation is only recommended from the 5th Bachelor semester onwards.
