Registration for the thesis and, if applicable, the final examination
Registration for the thesis takes place within the preclusive time limits, which you can find in the schedule.
Together with the registration, you determine your preferences regarding the modules (subject areas) and the supervision of your thesis.
Procedure for all bachelor's and master's degree programs (incl. MIM)
To create the registration form and set your preferences online (via the Internet):
| 1. | First establish a VPN connection to the university network, then call up WBS Webservices |
| 2. | Select Thesis registration |
| 3. | Login with HDS user name and HDS password |
| 4. | Enter your date of birth and address and then click on the Continue button |
| 5. | Set your preferences: - first select the module in which you would prefer to write - put the supervisors in the preferred order if there is more than one - now continue accordingly with the module of your second choice, etc. |
| 6. | Once you have set all the required preferences, the Save details button appears |
| 7. | After saving, the registration form is displayed and you can check your details (to change your data or preferences, start the procedure from the beginning) |
| 8. | Print out the registration form and save it (e.g. as a PDF file that you can print out later if necessary) |
| 9. | Sign the printout and submit the original by the deadline (by post, hand it in at the ServiceCenter or drop it in the deadline mailbox at Bleichstr. 44) |
Please note
Your data is already recorded in a central database via the Internet. However, your registration is only valid once the printed registration form has been submitted to the Examinations Office:
- complete (all pages)
- with your signature
- within the deadline.
To meet the registration deadline, it is sufficient for the registration form to be postmarked by midnight on the last day of the registration period. From abroad, we recommend that you fax your registration in advance.
Incomplete, incorrect or untimely applications are not considered to have been duly submitted and will result in admission being refused.
Supporting documents to be attached and submitted later
As a rule, you do not need to enclose any further documents with the application form, such as a transcript of completed modules and graded course components, proof of examinations passed abroad, proof of internship, etc., as these documents are already available to the Examinations Office.
When you submit your thesis, please enclose these completed forms:
Assignment procedure
The examination law only provides for the topic of the thesis and a speaker to be assigned to you in good time for the specified appointment. It does not provide for any involvement on your part.
Nevertheless, it is the Wiesbaden Business School's custom that you formulate your preferences when registering for the thesis:
What would I prefer to write about and with whom?
The faculty attaches great importance to your choice of preference. However, it must be possible to reconcile this with the capacities available at the faculty - there is therefore no guarantee for your first preference duo "topic / supervision".
In the interests of maximum fairness, the allocation procedure is determined by drawing lots:
- The first preference indicated in each case is allocated in the order of the draw.
- If the supervision capacity of a speaker is exhausted, the allocation is terminated for this speaker and the remaining candidates are allocated to the specified second preference.
- If a large number of candidates have chosen the same first and second preferences, in exceptional cases your lot may be drawn for a subsequent preference. However, an attempt will then be made to take your subject preferences into account as far as possible.
| The procedure is optimized and guarantees that no one can be better off without anyone else being worse off as a result. |
The result of the allocation procedure is published in Stud.IP
- for thesis assignments in the summer semester in June
- for thesis assignments in the winter semester in December / January (depending on the degree program).
Details of the appointments can be found in Stud.IP in the course "WBS - Internal Information" in the path "Files > Examinations > Theses".
The thesis assignment takes place in July or January / February (depending on the degree program - for exact dates see: Dates and deadlines ).
Please do not contact your supervisor until then. To ensure that all students have an equal opportunity to work on their thesis, a topic may not be agreed until the assignment date.
For the thesis assignment, please use the form Protocol for thesis assignment for your degree program, which you can download in Stud.IP in the course WBS - Internal Information in the path Files > Examinations > Theses.

Degree programs BBA, BBL, BDBM, BGOe and BIB / BVF: Thesis admission and internship
At the time of thesis registration, the practical work placement (BPT) has often not yet been completed. Admission to the thesis is therefore pending. The deadline for admission is the day of the first assignment date. This means that the attendance part of the BPT must have been completed by this date. The minimum period of the BPT and the period of the thesis must not overlap. This does not affect a possible voluntary extension of the internship.
To ensure that admission to the thesis is effective, the Examination Office will check whether the BPT has been passed, failed or is pending before announcing the thesis grades.
| BPT passed with success | ⇒ Thesis admission effective without reservation |
| BPT not passed | ⇒ Thesis approval is withdrawn retroactively |
| BPT pass pending | ⇒ Thesis grade will not be published until clarification |
Calculation of the deadline
In accordance with all examination regulations in force at the faculty, the deadline is
- on the same day of the month if the processing time is calculated in months or
- the same day of the week in the case of a processing time measured in weeks
the same day of the week as the deadline.
This also applies if the deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday
(Section 31 (3) sentence 2 of the Administrative Procedure Act).
Outside the office hours of the ServiceCenter, also on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays, the submission can be made by proper, timely posting in the deadline mailbox of the WBS (in front of the entrance Bleichstr. 44, Wiesbaden) or by timely posting (date of postmark).
Please note: the thesis must be submitted in triplicate.
The grades of the bachelor's and master's degree theses are published in QIS.
Please refer to the dates and deadlines for the publication dates.
