Project studies & IDPs

In a project study, student teams work on a specific issue in a research or practical project. The objective of a project study is to apply practical knowledge acquired during their studies and to gain from "learning by doing" experience in project management.

We offer project studies (PS) for students of the programs Bachelor in Management & Technology (BMT) as well as Master in Management (MiM), according to the general guidelines that can be found in your study regulations (Fachprüfungs- und Studienordnung). PS teams should be 3-5 students.

If you would like to apply for an open topic, please directly contact the supervisor via e-mail. Specific requirements are found in the project description. Make sure to include all the documents listed above. Applications are possible up to four weeks in advance of the announced start date. Usually, we cannot consider earlier applications.

If you have an own topic proposal in cooperation with a company, please check first which chair of the operations & supply chain management department fits your idea best. Please prepare a one-page exposé after consulting with your partner company. The exposé should specify (1) your research question, (2) how you plan to answer your research question, and (3) what the targets of your project are.

Furthermore, please submit the following documents with your application:

• curriculum vitae (of every group member)
• transcript of records (of every group member)
