An economics seminar is mandatory in the module.

Competences which are gained in the seminar module especially prepare the student for composing the final thesis. Within the term paper and the presentation the student exercises himself in scientific working techniques supported by the supervisor.

Beside advancing skills in techniques of scientific working there are gained integrative key qualifications as well. A detailled description o these qualifications is given in the section “Key Qualifications” of the module handbook.

Furthermore, the module also includes additional key qualifications provided by the KQ-courses.

The total workload for this module is approximately 180 hours (6 credits).
