The Master's thesis is a written report and evaluated by two persons authorized for this task. One of the two examiners needs to be a member of the partner university. The board of examiners of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics at Bielefeld University appoints this person as examiner.
The registration for the Master's thesis takes place at the examination office of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics at Bielefeld University. The Master's thesis should normally include no more than 60 pages. The Master's thesis has to be completed within 6 months after the issue date (to be documented explicitly). Theses must be submitted in electronic form (as a searchable PDF file, including a declaration of independent work with a scanned signature) by the deadline in an email to the examination office of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics and both reviewers (open distribution list).

Further rules are spelled out in the Masterprüfungsordnung (fw.).
