Process of the project study:
The project is processed in cooperation with the company partner. The supervision is shared between the company partner and the chair, however, the focus of the content and scope is rather driven by the company partner rather than the chair.
Extent:
- The project group is a team of 2-5 persons.
- The working time for the study are 3-6 months, depending on the classification in "Full-time" or "Part-time".
Grading:
- The work in the project is assessed individually. The judgment of the practice partner is included in the assessment.
- The evaluation is based on two components at the end of the project study:
- A project report of ~10 pages per person that is subject to the usual formal requirements of the Chair of Controlling. In exceptional cases, the form and length of the report can be adapted to the respective project in alignment with the chair and/or the practice partner.
- A 20-30 minute final presentation in front of the supervisor of the chair and the practice partner.
Both the presentation and the project report should be submitted before the official end of the project study; this applies ideally also to the actual date of the final presentation.
Topics:
The students can either work on a topic of the chair or come up with their own proposal (together with a company). The chair decides if the topic is applicable and acceptable for a project study.

For project proposals of their own, applicants have to hand in an exposé previous to the kick-off (1-2 pages, bullets possible), covering the topic, goal and planned procedure of the project study. The character of the project, as well as the motivation, goal and the work of the project team, extent and responsibilities have to be clarified within the exposé. This exposé is basis for the topic finding process between applicants, company and chair.
Application:
You can apply at the chair only after you have succesfully applied at the practice partner and have received the confirmaton by the practice partner for the specific topic. The application process for a project study at our chair then starts three to four weeks before the planned kick-off by handing in all documents (via e-mail in a single pdf-file to projektstudium.controlling@wi.tum.de):
- Application form
- Current transcript of records, CVs of all applicants
- Exposé if necessary (see below)
Please do not contact us without complete application documents. The final decision about the supervisory is then taken by the chair, if needed together with the practice partner.
