Proseminar

Bachelor students (of the degree programmes Media Management and Industrial Engineering)

Univ.-Prof. Dr. Rainer Souren (subject leader)
Dr. rer. pol. Magnus Richter
Lydia Wöhlert M. Sc.

As a rule, every winter semester

Depending on the topic, attendance of certain lectures is compulsory.

Bachelor students of Business Administration with Technical Orientation, Media Economics and Industrial Engineering; max. 14-18 participants

Shortly before the start of the respective semester, online enrolment takes place. The link to the enrolment will be announced in time in the News of the group. Shortly after the end of the enrolment period, the participants and, if applicable, those who have moved up (waiting list) will be announced. All students who have received a place in the proseminar can submit topic preferences to the group.

Examination

The seminar participants write a seminar paper of 8-10 pages individually or 14-16 pages in groups of two. They then present and defend the results of their work. The knowledge from regular courses is to be applied and deepened or new knowledge on general business administration is to be acquired.

A given objective is worked on scientifically, problem-related and independently for the first time. The experience gained should prepare the students for the Bachelor thesis. The presentation and discussion of the results serve to improve presentation and discussion skills and should thus prepare the students for similar situations in business practice.

For further information (especially on the design of seminar papers), please refer to the guidelines for writing scientific papers at the Department of Sustainable Production Management and Logistics in the Moodle course of your proseminar.

Both the framework topic and the respective topics to be worked on change from semester to semester and are announced in good time before registration for the seminar. The framework topic is usually already fixed at the end of the lecture period of the previous semester.
