  • Our department does not offer a specific course in Academic Writing (Standards wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens und Zitierens/Grundlagen rechtswissenschaftlichen Arbeitens). It is sufficient to take one of the academic writing courses (Standards wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens und Zitierens/Grundlagen rechtswissenschaftlichen Arbeitens) in any department (WISO/WIRE), or to complete the Introduction to Academic Writing course (BBE).

  • Once the topics have been assigned, a kick-off meeting takes place in November or April to discuss the requirements for the Bachelor thesis.
