The seminar paper offers a means for, both bachelor's and master's students to acquire competencies for scientific work. Students are given the opportunity to address scientifically interesting questions and be awarded 6 ECTS. The chairs of Business Information Systems offer suggestions for topics, but students can also work on their own topic. In addition to technical skills, which include not only clean formatting but also careful literary work, you will first learn to structure, prepare, and critically question topics that appear complex at first sight. This is a qualification that is not only important for your final thesis, but it will also allow you to act confidently in complex situations in your later professional life.

Students of Business Information Systems can choose from a wide range of topics and profit from the support of our academic staff with the WISEM process. The WISEM process is used to coordinate and offer topics as well as dates and introductory events across multiple chairs. The following explanations refer to chairs that participate in WISEM, which are the research groups of Prof. Ahlemann (SITM), Prof. Eicker (SOFTEC), Prof. Nadj (AI), Prof. Plattfaut (TM), Prof. Rothe (SUST), Prof. Schaarschmidt (APP), and Prof. Schütte (IIS). If you want to write your seminar paper with another research group that is not part of WISEM, the module descriptions for Bachelor's and Master's students provide an overview of all chairs that offer the option of writing seminar papers. For these alternative offers, please refer to the web sites of the respective chairs for further information.
