Starting in the winter semester 2024/25, all bachelor and master theses at the MSM will be allocated to the departments through a central assignment process.

The Chair of Microeconomics and International Economics primarily supervises theses in the field of Industrial Organization. Further information about the procedure and requirements can be found in the following document.

In the winter semester 2025/26, we are offering two dates for the Colloquium: February 5, 2026 and March 26, 2026.
