In the second or third semester, MBF students participate in a research seminar extending to 3 ECTS credits. In this seminar, students are expected to write their own research paper on an issue of current academic interest. The subject of the seminar contribution may be related to the Master's thesis, i.e., students may research a specific aspect of their Master's thesis in greater depth.
To foster the exchange of ideas, we organize the different research seminars in a joint research retreat abroad. The research retreat takes place both in the spring semester and the fall semester.
As the research seminar already requires a profound knowledge, we strongly recommend that students attend this course towards the end of the programme, i.e., in the second or third MBF semester.
