Our team has a special interest in sustainability within the mining-, and agri-commodities industries, as well as corporate brand value and identity, and corporate reporting.
You may also propose a topic of your own choice as long as it is related to corporate sustainability strategy.

The start of the master thesis is expected in July 2025 with the submission of the thesis at the end of 2025.
Level: Bachelor and Master
At the Chair of Management of Renewable Energies, we are currently experiencing high levels of student interest in writing Master or Bachelor theses. While we are excited about the interest on these important topics, our capacity prevents us from satisfying every request for supervision. We will selectively consider new requests if they have a close link to our team’s research focus, and if the candidate can demonstrate dedication and commitment to investigating a novel topic related to managing renewable energy and climate solutions. All else being equal, students who have already familiarized themselves with the topic in one of our courses will be given priority in the application process.
