Course syllabus
Course overview
During the latter half of the Spring semester, you and a course colleague will write and present a Bachelor Degree thesis in research fields associated with International Business Studies. The thesis enables you to further advance your skills and knowledge developed during your bachelor program studies by applying and integrating relevant theoretical perspectives and social science research methods for generating and analyzing empirical data.
You will have to make decisions concerning problematization, focus and the research question that is to be answered, which will be facilitated through conversations with your supervisor. Together with the other courses you have studied during your time at the School of Business, Economics and Law, the skills you are about to demonstrate in the thesis project are crucial for your future working career and further studies at the advanced level.
