These must be faculty members in the department of business, economics and law and willing to supervise thesis work in doctoral research (Dr. rer. pol. and Dr. iur.) or post-doctoral research (Habilitation).

Once an academic supervisor has been found, candidates should proceed to be admitted to doctoral studies (see below) and/or doctoral examinations (Promotion), or Habilitation procedures.
