The bachelor thesis deals with current practical-oriented and research-related issues of public management. Students should demonstrate they can deal with a specific problem with scientific methods within a given period. Because the bachelor degree is the first academic degree qualifying for a profession, a bachelor thesis’ specific qualification objectives are the systematic application of learned scientific methodologies to a practice-relevant problem, the presentation of the current state of research and its relevance to the practical issue, the preparation of an empirical study if applicable (for instance, in the form of a representative survey), a conclusion stemming from the evaluation of the student’s results and identification of further research questions.
