OECON - spring 2015 Bachelor’s Thesis Catalogue
Introduction The course "Bachelor's thesis for Economics and Management students" consists partly in writing the
Bachelor’s thesis - and for that, the student will receive supervision - and partly in a series of meetings.
There is a series of meetings for each of the following disciplines (In Danish: “bachelorrækker”): business,
accounting and finance, macroeconomics, microeconomics, and econometrics.
For each student, participation in two meetings is required: a meeting, where the student presents and
discusses another thesis, and another meeting where the student’s own thesis is presented and discussed
by a (group of) fellow students.
The final grade will be based upon the evaluation of the thesis itself. The grades will not be given until the
series of meetings have been held.
This catalogue includes:
Procedures and time line for the bachelor thesis
Links to the academic regulations and course description.
Potential supervisors and topics for spring 2015.
It is important you read this catalogue in its entirety before the information meeting. After the information
meeting, you must fill in a priority form to choose your topic. The deadline for filling out the priority form is
Friday 5 December 2014 at 12 noon.

Timeline; fall 2014 – spring 2015
Potential topics are published in the Bachelor’s Thesis Catalogue in week 43.
Remember to sign up for the course in STADS SB between 1-10 November.
On 11 November, an information meeting will be held from 12-13 in the Merete Barker Auditorium in order
to provide as much information as possible on the content of the course. At this meeting, series
coordinators and AU Library will attend and students are encouraged to ask questions to the process,
topics, etc. Thus, students should have read this catalogue before the meeting. Further details such as time
and place will be announced at the study portal.
By Friday 5 December at 12 noon, a registration/priority form must be filled in by all students, stating two
topics in order of priority. A link to the form can be found on Blackboard in the group “Bachelor's thesis for
Economics and Management students - F15” which will be made available mid-October.
After this, the distribution of students across series, topics, and supervisors will take place. The result will
be published on Blackboard in the beginning of week 51. It is up to the series coordinator to allocate
students to supervisors. Note that it is not guaranteed that you will get a particular supervisor, even if you
have chosen a subject offered by him/her.
A Blackboard page will also be created for each series. Students have to sign up to their page themselves,
so that series coordinators and supervisors can communicate with the relevant students. Sign up during
week 51.
In late January/early February, AU Library will give an introduction to the library services and literature
search. More information will be sent out through Blackboard.
It is advised that a project description is approved by the supervisor by mid-February. As soon as the
supervisor has approved the project description, the work with the thesis itself can begin.
The deadline for handing in the Bachelor’s thesis is Friday, 8 May 2015 at 14:00 pm at BSS Study Services,
Tåsingegade 3, building 1443, room 021. Each thesis must be handed in in three paper copies. An
electronic version (in PDF format) must also be uploaded to Blackboard on each series’ Blackboard page. If
the thesis is confidential, a copy must instead be e-mailed to each of the series members (e-mail addresses
can be found on the row Blackboard page) and to the supervisor. Remember to include a short resume in
English.
By Early May the time schedule for the meetings for each series will be published on Blackboard. Upload
an electronic version of the discussants’ slides (pdf-format) on Blackboard at least two days before the
meeting.
The theses are presented and discussed at meetings during the following weeks (preferably in weeks 21-
22). All presentations are held before 1 June and all grades are given before 1 July.

Academic regulations
Read about purpose, form, formal requirements, and exam form via this link to your particular academic
regulation (in Danish): Bachelor in Economics and Management (2011)
Examination regulations
General information about examination rules at AU can be found here: Exams
Course description
Course content, teaching form and exam form is described in the course catalogue: Bachelor’s thesis for
Economics and Management students – spring 2015.
Page limitations
The maximum length of the thesis is 30 standard pages (excl. appendices) for one student, and 24 standard
pages per student for group theses.
Read the general rules about written assignments on the study portal: Standard pages and front page.
Group thesis A thesis can be written by up to three students. Group theses are required, under the academic regulations
and the course description, to include sections that can be assigned to each group member, and this must
be explicitly specified in the thesis; but they may also contain parts which are written by several or all group
members. The grades are given on the basis of the individualized contribution, taking into account the
qualities of the sections written by the group in collaboration. There will not be given a grade, if the
contributions are not specified in the thesis.
Supervision Students receive supervision by their appointed supervisor. The number and scope of meetings is decided
in a joint process by the supervisor and the student. Some advisors have office hours and some advisors
schedule appointments by email (ask your supervisor).
It is advised that a project description (about one page) is approved by the supervisor early in the process.
It is the student's responsibility to contact the supervisor on this matter. See also: http://www.scribo.dk/.
As soon as the supervisor has approved the project description, the work with the thesis itself can begin.
Before each meeting, it is recommended that the student emails the supervisor an updated list of contents
and an updated project description.
Expect the supervisor to read and comment thoroughly on a sample of the thesis, at most three pages per
student. The supervisor is not allowed to read more than the sample of the thesis and in particular not the
entire thesis.

Division of responsibility You will have to consult your supervisor individually. You are responsible for the first contact. The thesis is
an individual accomplishment which ends your study.
You are responsible for
determining the subject and the research question
finding literature and eventually data
structuring the thesis
assessing the relevance of the literature, various subtopics etc.
Your supervisor can assist you with
focusing the research question
structuring the thesis
asking critical questions
pointing out issues you may have overlooked
Procedures for the meetings
Each meeting takes up to 45 minutes. If the BSc thesis is written in English, then both the presentation and
the discussion must be in English.
The written thesis should be seen as a starting point for an academic discussion. The thesis should be
subject to an objective debate with the purpose of creating overview, structure and in-depth understanding
of the problem presented.
Discussants First the discussants present the thesis allocated to them. This will take about 20 minutes for two/three
authors and about 15 minutes for one author. The presentation is based upon PowerPoint slides. All
discussants must be active in the presentation. It is important to practice the presentation beforehand –
for example it is important to be able to adhere to the allotted time.
The discussants bring forward the most important issues of the thesis, e.g. main question/hypothesis
of the thesis, theory, data, empirical findings, and conclusion. The critique could for instance include a
number of prioritized items/problems which, according to the opponents, should be subject to a
closer discussion. They could be: Central/fundamental aspects of the subject in general or specific areas
concerning the handling of the subject, and/or problem issues which should be further elaborated on
and where opponents can give their contributions, and/or aspects on which opponents disagree with
project writer(s).
It is usually a good idea to divide the critique into two parts; a general and a specific part. The general
part could include the overall critique of the project, for instance:
Critique of method:
Are there validity, reliability or representational problems?
BSc Economics and Management (Oecon), Aarhus University

Would another method or procedure have been better?
Critique of subject: Is the problem formulation precise and well-defined?
Should the project writer have chosen another delimitation of the subject?
How is the weighting of the project in relation to the problem formulation?
Are there any further subjects that should have been included in the project?
Critique of the formal requirements:
Are the report technique and style as they should be in relation to the standards?
The specific part can include page numbers and line numbers in the text where the opponents have
questions or would like further oral clarification. It is very important that this part does not turn into a
long list of formal requirements which have not been met.
Although the formal requirements are of importance, it is even more important that the opponents
start a discussion of the contents and method etc. of the project instead of just listing up all errors as
regards the formal requirements.
It is the supervisor’s job to take care that each point of discussion is ended with a conclusion, and
he/she also functions as a moderator when needed.
Please notice that the opponents are not supposed to “shoot down” the project. As opponents it is
important to show an ability to emphasize the good points of a project, as these are often the most
interesting topics for discussion.
Authors Then the authors are allowed to defend their thesis. The discussion should take 20 minutes at most.
Supervisor The supervisor might decide to give some overall comments to the thesis. At this time, the supervisor has
not yet conferred with the external examiner.

Potential topics
Note: Supervisors in the following are the potential supervisors. The series coordinator may provide another supervisor if necessary.
Self-chosen topic
You may choose among the topics listed in this Bachelor’s catalogue. However, you may also choose a topic which is not in the catalogue. The terms and conditions are exactly the same as for a standard Bachelor's project, with the exception that you must find a supervisor who is ready to approve the topic and who are willing to supervise you. Still, it might be necessary for the series coordinator to change the supervisor.
You can also write a report for a company, but you still need to find a supervisor who is ready to approve the topic and supervise you.
If you would like to work on a self-chosen topic, it is expedient to have considered the following before contacting a supervisor:
What is the problem?
Why is it a problem? (Why is it important that we have an answer/the problem can be solved - what if the problem cannot be solved?)
Who has the problem? (A company, a person/group, a theory/model?)
Can I find any literature on the subject?
Which method will I use to analyze the problem?
