Erasmus Thesis Project 2025

Are you a bachelor-3 student writing your thesis at Erasmus School of Economics? Join the Erasmus Thesis Project 2024 (ETP) and get help with writing your thesis! In addition, you can hand in your thesis in the end and win up to 200€!

What is ETP?

The goal of ETP is to provide additional guidance to bachelor students who are going to write their bachelor thesis at the Erasmus School of Economics. To do so, we will organize several workshops/events for you, so that you can get the most out of your thesis:

Kick-Off: How to write a thesis. We will kick off the project on April 2nd, 13:30! Dr. Anne Boring will give a lecture on “How to write a better thesis” in which she will provide you with tips, point out commonly made mistakes, and discuss how to improve on them.

STATA Workshop (May). Two PhD students will host a STATA workshop in May for students working on an empirical thesis and using STATA. You will be given tips and tricks on how to use STATA. There will also be a Q&A session where students can ask questions about STATA and their own thesis/dataset.

Feedback Session (June). We will have a feedback session in June. Here, you can present your thesis progress to one or two Professors, who will provide you with feedback and useful insights on how to proceed.

ETP Thesis Competition (September). Finally, you can win up to €200 for your thesis. In June and July, we will host a prize contest for which you can hand in your final thesis. The three best theses will be awarded €200, €100, and €50 for respectively 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. The ceremony will be held in September.

With all these activities we hope to provide you all the support you need for writing your thesis and we hope that you’ll stay on track and finish your thesis on time!

How to participate

Participation is free. Please note that anyone is welcome to sign up for the Kick-Off lecture and the STATA workshop, but the Feedback Session and the ETP Thesis Competition is only open for students writing their thesis in the general field of economics (related to the EMO, Policy Economics or International Economics seminars).
