Final thesis

How to find topic

Here is some info to help you continue in the process:

• the wording of the topic of the work as precise as possible;
• the problem you want to solve;
• objectives of the work;
• importance/originality of the work;
• research methods.

Choose your topic and declare your knowledge team

Choose the knowledge team that best fits your thesis topic and declare it in your proposal form. Supervisors are assigned based on the declared knowledge team, so you do not need to find a supervisor yourself. If you do have a preferred supervisor, you can indicate this in the form; however, this does not guarantee that this supervisor will be assigned to you. Supervisors are assigned based on topic fit and language preference.

EBS knowledge teams:

• Management, Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Education
• Economics and Policy Studies
• Business in Society
• Marketing and Communication
• Green, Circular Economy and Resources
• Finance and Accounting

Click on a team to see its key teaching and research areas and recent publications. This will help you decide which team best fits your thesis topic. You can also browse all teams on the EBS research page.

AI-based knowledge team matching tool: you can use the new AI-based tool (Google account required) to find the knowledge team that best suits your interests and language preference. You can also ask it questions to further develop your topic idea: EBS Knowledge Team selection tool.

Please submit your final thesis proposal in a timely manner.
