Your Guide to Degree Completion
1. Find a topic & get a supervisor
MGB students can choose the institute where they want to write their Master's thesis, depending on their preferred field (Innovation Management, Marketing, Strategy, Finance, Leadership, etc.). Many students opt for our Institute of Innovation Management (ifi), as our supervision approach is tailored to the Global Business Master's program.
Writing your thesis at our institute:
There are several ways to choose a topic for your Master's thesis. You can either propose your own topic and discuss it with the MGB team (mgb@jku.at), or select a research area from the list of suggested topics (see below) as a basis for choosing your topic.
Once your topic is selected, a supervisor who best matches your thesis area will be assigned to you. During your initial meeting, your supervisor will provide essential information on the thesis process, including its scope, academic writing guidelines, and other key details.
Important: After selecting your topic, please complete the topic development sheet (available below) and bring it to your first meeting with your supervisor. The document should not exceed one page.
