In their Master’s Thesis, students use scientific methods and work in accordance with standards of scientific writing. The master's thesis is typically related to one of the four subject areas that constitute the core of the curriculum (i.e., Business Process Management, Data and Application Security, Data Science, and Digital Innovation).
Teaching Method

The examination committee is composed of the Academic Director, another faculty member, and an external expert appointed by the Vice-Rector for Teaching.The time for producing the completed thesis is defined on the thesis proposal (“exposé”) and may not exceed 22 weeks.
Learning Results
- After successful submission of the master's thesis, students will have demonstrated their ability to plan, execute and manage research projects autonomously.
