Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The bachelor’s thesis is a scientific (sic!) paper, which is a central requirement for the completion of the bachelor’s degree. Since writing such a thesis involves a not inconsiderable amount of time, this should already be taken into account when selecting the subject in which the bachelor’s thesis is to be written. Furthermore, writing a bachelor's thesis in tax law requires the willingness to deal intensively with a jurisprudential subject. The ability to deal with jurisprudential issues is therefore indispensable for working on a bachelor's thesis topic in tax law. In addition to the successful completion of the compulsory module Law, this also requires a corresponding focus on business law and tax law within the specialization phase. Without good to very good knowledge of the Austrian tax law, the processing of a tax law bachelor’s thesis topic is not recommended!
