Bachelor thesis - Procedure at the chair

The chair conducts an application procedure for Bachelor students every semester. If you would like to write your thesis at the Chair of Public & Nonprofit Management, you must have successfully completed the course Public Management 1 or Public Management 2.

If you meet this requirement, you can apply via email (hiwi-pumauni-potsdamde) until the end of November (for the summer semester) and the end of May (for the winter semester) respectively. This email should include the following information:

  • Name
  • Course of studies
  • Experiences in the area public and nonprofit management (university classes, internships, professional experience, ...)
  • Current class performance list from PULS
  • Indication of two subject areas of public and nonprofit management, Angabe von zwei Themengebieten des Public und Nonprofit Managements, in which you can imagine writing your theses.

The chair decides within three weeks after the end of the application deadline if a supervision is possible and will contact you thereafter

It is possible to attend the colloquium before we confirm a supervision of your thesis. The participation of the colloquium does not garantee for a supervision.

Colloquium

Every semester the chair offers a colloquium for theses in the area of public management for students that write their theses with us. It is expected that all students, that write their theses (Bachelor's and Master's) at the chair, participate in our colloquium. During the colloquium students have to present their project and discuss it with their colleagues. For Bachelor students of Economics it is also possible to get this class credited as key qualification (Schlüsselqualifikation) with 3 LP. The organisation of appointments for consultations on Bachelor's and Master's theses is carried out throughMoodle.
