You will be notified by email to your WU account as soon as a thesis supervision agreement has been created and registered for you. Your thesis can only be graded if you have a valid supervision agreement. Please note that additional supervision conditions may apply as specified by your supervisor and co-supervisor. If you fail to comply with the conditions specified by your supervisor and co-supervisor, the supervision agreement may be cancelled.

A list of aids used supplements the correct citation in the context of your bachelor's thesis. Here you will find information on which aids used must be documented in each case, what a list of aids used should look like and how it should be submitted. Please note any other requirements of your supervisor.

Bachelor’s theses are submitted online using the LEARN learning and information portal. All theses submitted for evaluation are subjected to plagiarism detection. The cover page must be filled out online and included at the very beginning of the thesis document. The cover page must be included in the file containing your thesis when you submit it via LEARN.  

Once the submission process has been completed, the thesis and the results of the plagiarism check are made available to your supervisor for evaluation. Your supervisor then has four weeks after submission of the thesis to complete his or her evaluation.

Once you have completed your bachelor's thesis, create a cover page using this template and place it at the very beginning of your document. Save your thesis, including the cover page and all appendices, in PDF/A format. Then, upload your thesis via myWU, following this step-by-step guide.

Make sure to include a list of aids used in your thesis. A template can be found here.

After submission, your thesis will undergo a mandatory plagiarism detection check. More information on plagiarism is available here.

Once submitted, your thesis and the plagiarism detection check results will be forwarded to your examiner. The evaluation must be completed within four weeks. Your grade for the bachelor's thesis will be available in LPIS.

If you would like to work with an external supervisor, e.g. a faculty member from another educational institution, you need a special permission from the Vice-Rector for Academic Programs and Student Affairs. You can apply for this permission by sending an email with the completed application form  to: studentsupport@wu.ac.at

Unfortunately an external co-supervision of Bachelor theses at WU is not possible.

It is very important to WU to ensure that all theses and coursework papers comply with the standards of academic integrity. For this reason, WU takes a very clear and strict stance on plagiarism. Any violations of the standards of academic integrity will be punished accordingly. The Directive on plagiarism and academic fraud and the resulting legal consequences issued by the Vice-Rector, Academic Programs and Student Affairs (Richtlinie der Vizerektorin für Lehre und Studierende zu Plagiaten und den damit verbundenen Rechtsfolgen) contains all the relevant information on plagiarism and on how cases of plagiarism or suspected cases of plagiarism are dealt with at WU.
