Students must find their own thesis workplace, i.e., a commissioner of the work:

• from companies (summer jobs, internships, etc)
• via job applications
• from company notices on thesis opportunities
• from the university’s career services
• from research projects in industrial engineering and management

Tips:

• Offer the right topic to the right person, target your applications.
• Find out about the company.
• Anticipate the company’s needs, analyse any problem areas.
• Offer a couple of options.
• Be prepared to carry out the work commissioned by the company and shape it into a thesis.
• Work on various options systematically.
• Do not be discouraged even if you do not succeed at first.
• Carry out your summer jobs and internships meticulously to create a network in companies.
• Improve your competitiveness on the labour market right from the start of your studies:
• make learning and gaining new skills your goal, not the accumulation of credits.
• Improve your job application skills.
