Master thesis competition

Since 2018 the MIB Consortium has organised a Master Thesis Competition.
Each member school selects the student who wrote the best master thesis within its EFMD accredited program in International Business.
The selected students have to do a 2-minute video summarizing the content of their Master thesis as well as a Power Point Presentation. The master thesis along with the documents produced by the selected candidates are reviewed by a jury made of one faculty from each member school.

The selection is made on several criteria:

• Conceptual rigour, Problem setting and theoretical models/framework
• Methodological rigour: Use of research methods
• Real world quality – relevance
• Presentation quality
• Theoretical contribution, critical thinking
