Master-Semiar: Seminar Operations Management & Research

At the Institute of Production Management, one seminar is offered in the winter term and one in the summer term. Due to different coursenumbers, the seminar can be taken twice even though it has the same title in both semesters. We recommend taking the seminar in the second and third semester of the master's program.

Seminar allocation

Seminars are usually allocated in the first week of lectures. A few days before the allocation, you will receive an overview of the topics on Stud.IP. In the course of this, the preference input will be activated on this website so that you can enter a preference for each topic. The assignment of topics and students then takes place in the seminar allocation

 

Notes on the Allocation of Seminar Topics

At the Institute of Production Management, the topics for the seminars are distributed on a preference basis. For this purpose, we require personal data and your preference values for the seminar topics.
