Examination Office

The topic of the Master's thesis can come from the field of business information systems, computer science or economics. The processing time is 6 months. Please note that you must be enrolled while working on your Master's thesis!

You can register for the Master's thesis as soon as you have earned 60 credit points in the Master's degree program in Business Information Systems and these have been submitted to the Examination Office. You can find out whether you have achieved the required 60 credit points at the Examination Office or check for yourself at https://vorlesungen.tu-bs.de.If you submit the application for the Master's thesis without the required preliminary work, the application will not be recognized. Furthermore, the Master's thesis CANNOT be re-registered with the same title.

First of all, you need to find a supervisor and agree on a topic for your Master's thesis. Please note: If you would like to write your Master's thesis externally, it is also necessary that you first look for a supervisor at TU Braunschweig! To register your thesis, please use the registration form “Registration of a thesis in the Information Systems degree program”, which is displayed in front of the Examinations Office and can also be found here. The completed registration form, signed by you and the examiner, is sent by the institute to the Examination Office and the thesis is thus registered. The processing period of six months begins on the date stated on the registration form; the submission deadline is therefore exactly six months after the registration date (example: registration date: 18.02.2024 -> submission date: 18.08.2024).

From now on, final theses (Bachelor's or Master's thesis) are uploaded to TUConnect. Submission by e-mail or on data carriers is no longer necessary. The submission date is the upload date of the submission in the examination office.

Bound copies no longer need to be submitted to the Examinations Office. Examiners can request a printed copy to be handed in within 5 days of the upload date. In this case, the submission will be made to the examiners.

An automatic plagiarism check is carried out.

You can only upload a PDF document (the declaration of independence must be included). To do this, convert your work as a PDF document directly from your word processor or use the print function. Please do not scan!

For data protection reasons, you may remove the personal data “surname”, “first name” and “matriculation number” from the electronic version of your thesis before uploading it.

The maximum file size is 150 MB. If necessary, please reduce the resolution of images/drawings in the file.

If the final thesis is your last examination and you would like to de-register as soon as possible, you should always be sure that you have passed all examinations and coursework, including the final thesis. If your final thesis has not yet been finally graded, but the work has been assessed as passed in any case, the first and second examiners can issue you with a “4.0 certificate” confirming that your final thesis has been passed with at least “sufficient”. We strongly advise against de-registration before it has been ensured that all examinations and coursework have been passed!
