Yearly thesis awards
Every year, in the period of October-November the Bekader Thesis Awards are held. All students that graduated for their master are eligable as candidates. A jury selects the three most interesting theses from both the Business Administration and Industrial Engineering & Management programmes. On the night itself, the audience votes who takes home which prize.
