Application for Bachelor's and Master's Theses:
Prof. Dr. Tereza Tykvová is happy to supervise your Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis in the research fields of Private Markets and Alternative Investments. Master thesis applicants should have attended and completed one of the various courses of the chair with a very good grade in the past.
You can suggest your own topic by writing a short proposal using a proposal template. Additionally, please provide your current CV and the most recent grade transcript to give us insight into your areas of interest. Upon reviewing your submission, we will inform you of our interest in supervising the thesis. If there is mutual interest, we can discuss the possibility of pursuing your proposed topic either in person or via a phone meeting.
Your thesis must aim for high quality, resembling a peer-reviewed article in an academic finance or economics journal. Please note that you should do an own empirical work, not just describe existing products, markets, or institutional environment. For the thesis, familiarity with a statistical software package (preferably STATA) is necessary; Excel and SPSS are not sufficient.
Moreover, your thesis should be composed in LaTeX (preferred) or in Word. Please be aware that we receive a significant number of thesis requests, and we can only accept the best proposals due to high demand.
Please send all application documents to elena.chirico@unisg.ch.
