For information on the duration of the modul, refer to the courses of study in which the module is used.
The course "Current fields of sport economic and sport sociological research" is designed to enable you to take up current topics in sport economic and sport sociological research, translate them into relatively independent questions and present them for discussion in the context of presentations, taking into account scientific and presentation methodological standards.
By completing the academic achievement in the form of a scientific presentation, you will not only demonstrate the acquisition of specialised knowledge, but also show that you are communicatively competent.
In the "Accompanying seminar for the BA thesis", you will present your own research question and analysis at an advanced stage of your work and learn how to defend it.
In your Bachelor's thesis, you will demonstrate that you are able to work on a sports sociological/sport management-related and/or sports economic issue using scientific methods. The accompanying seminar promotes your ability to write your Bachelor's thesis in accordance with academic standards.
In the course "Current fields of sport economic and sport sociological research", you will focus on current topics in sport economic and sport sociological research with the intention of taking up and developing your own science-oriented questions. With the guidance and support of the "accompanying seminar", you will typically work on a question of your own choice as part of your Bachelor's thesis using empirical data from the Sports Science sub-disciplines of Sports Sociology/Sports Management or Sports Economics.
Successful completion of the modules 61-Spowi-GL1, 31-M1, 61-W-GL2, 61-W-PbE, 31-M4, 31-M8, 61-W-SW and 61-W-SG is strongly recommended.

The Bachelor's thesis is an independent scientific, written elaboration of approx. 12,000 words (excluding title page, abstract, table of contents, table of figures, bibliography, tables, figures, appendix and declaration of independence). Students must demonstrate that they can work independently on a scientific task from the range of topics covered by the degree programme within the specified deadline.
To this end, students contact a supervisor and discuss a possible assignment. The supervisor is responsible for issuing the final assignment. The processing time begins with this issue. At the same time, the supervisor and student must ensure immediate registration at the examination office, in particular to appoint the examiners and document the examination procedure. The Bachelor's thesis can be written in German or English in consultation with the supervisor.
The processing time is four months.
The thesis must be submitted on time, preferably in electronic form, to the Sports Science examination office.
Further regulations can be found in the Bachelor's examination regulations.
All teaching staff who offer courses in modules 61-W-SG, 61-W-SW, 61-W-PbE and 61-W-AM_a assign topics for Bachelor's theses.
