As another form of cooperation fu:stat offers to supervise an empirical final thesis’s within your enterprise. If you have to solve a suitable problem which can be treated by using scientific methods during 3 to 4 month, it is a perfect start for this kind of cooperation.

The beginning of the process is a reconcilement aiming to assess whether the problem is suitable as the starting point of an empirical thesis. Additionally it has to be ensured that expectations respecting the results can be matched and necessary data is available or can be made available. Furthermore the scope of the project must allow for a processing within the time designated for a Bachelor, Master or Diploma thesis and the difficulty must suit the requirements of the chosen thesis.

Experience shows, a careful reconcilement in advance is crucial for the success of the project. The thesis, that is submitted for grading must satisfy the requirement of scientific work. Beside the applied part, the used methods and their theoretical background have to be described. Typically, the latter two aspects are of smaller interest for the responsible person in enterprises in contrast to a short illustration of the results which is reduced to the most important aspects. Therefore, it can be decided to create such a short report beside the graded thesis. This report can be configured to fit your requirements. Additionally a final presentation in your enterprise is usual.

The clarification of the access to needed information/data is another crucial aspect. Especially in thesis in the quantitative field, the student often requires access to confidential information. For this reason, it should be exactly specified what information is needed in what form to perform the task and in how it will be provided. Also any restrictions on the publication of the results must be formulated. In the embodiment of the above, fu:stat is mostly flexible as long as it is ensured that the obtained result can be verified by the supervisor of the thesis and the work provides added value to science.

If there is not yet a suitable candidate for the realization of the project fu:stat will promote your offering, by announcement in related lectures. As soon as the candidate has be settled the exact schedule for the project can be marked out. To secure all parties in the project, in the end of the preparation phase the agreements are fixed in a standard contract which is enhanced by project specific clauses.
