Welcome to OUBH Academy in Switzerland, an institution with a broad vision dedicated to providing cutting-edge educational facilities to our students, equipping them to become active contributors to society. Our educational system is meticulously crafted to align with the latest educational trends, ensuring that students receive updated and relevant instruction. At OUBH Academy, we offer a diverse range of expertly formulated courses designed to deliver the best concepts to our students.

Thesis writing is a pivotal component of post-graduate education, serving as a structured journey toward a defined destination. It requires students to conduct thorough research on a specific topic within their field, presenting and supporting their findings coherently. The chosen topic holds significant importance, guiding students throughout their thesis journey as they assemble and defend their theories. Thesis writing is integral to many of our courses and diplomas, completing the academic experience.

At OUBH Academy, we have established rigorous requirements for thesis writing to ensure that our students meet high academic standards. Here are some key points to consider:

  • Students have the flexibility to complete their thesis within a timeframe ranging from 4 months to 8 years, with the average duration being 4-12 months for Bachelor/Master students and at least 2 years for Doctorate students. During this period, no classes are conducted.

  • Doctorate students are typically required to write between 25,000 to 100,000 words, depending on the program, while Master's students must write a minimum of 15,000 words for a single thesis. Collaborative projects may require higher word counts.

  • Bachelor students are not mandated to complete a thesis for graduation, but it is highly recommended for enhancing their academic experience.

  • Students have the freedom to choose their thesis topics, with guidance available from lecturers and supervisors to ensure alignment with their chosen study scheme.

  • We adhere to the Swiss system of dissertation writing, providing students with comprehensive guidance on writing their thesis according to these standards.

At OUBH Academy, we are committed to supporting students at every stage of their thesis-writing journey. Our goal is to cultivate strong writing skills and effective communication, empowering students to succeed academically and professionally. Through collaborative support from lecturers and supervisors, we ensure that students receive the guidance they need to excel in their thesis writing endeavors.

Additionally, we offer comprehensive defense procedures to assess students' thesis projects. With options for both on-campus and online defenses, students can choose the format that best suits their needs. Our experienced committee members evaluate thesis projects meticulously, providing valuable feedback to help students refine their work.

We understand the importance of accountability and transparency in academic assessment. Therefore, we have established clear guidelines for thesis appeals and resubmissions, ensuring fairness and integrity in the evaluation process. Students have the opportunity to appeal their results and make necessary revisions to their projects, with fees applicable for appeal and resubmission processes.

At OUBH Academy, we are dedicated to fostering academic excellence and personal growth. With our comprehensive thesis writing support and robust defense procedures, we equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in their academic and professional endeavors. Join us at OUBH Academy and embark on a transformative educational journey towards a brighter future.
