_ present the methods used for and the core contents of their thesis in a clear and understandable manner within a given time frame,
_ integrate their own work into existing knowledge,
_ combine their findings from theory and practice in a solution-oriented way,
_ engage in a scientific discussion with a critical audience,
_ critically question their own approaches and explain the limits of their own work,
_ cultivate social interaction within a group and hold constructive discussions,
_ apply the theoretical, methodological and argumentative skills acquired during their studies,
_ analyze complex issues (networked thinking) and describe and evaluate them appropriately using the correct scientific terminology (complexity reduction and pyramid principle),
_ develop, present and supply recommendations for action, suggestions for improvement and practicable solutions,
_ be able to scientifically substantiate and formulate their research findings in writing and document key results using modern presentation techniques, as well as present them to the group (and third parties, if necessary).
_ The colloquium essentially consists of 2 parts. The first part consists of information on working scientifically. This is usually covered by the School of Business before the 4th semester.

In addition, they will be expected to give an overview of the professional experiences they gained from their application-oriented research project. The exchange of experiences between students and the feedback between the students and faculty are of particular importance here.
