Study International Finance (B.Sc.)

Description of the degree program

With a degree in International Finance, you will secure the next generation of managers for multinational companies. Recognized specialists from the finance industry or the finance department of multinational companies thoroughly prepare you for the international finance world. The lecturers are recognized specialists in their field who are or have been active in responsible positions in practice, often including guest lecturers from abroad. Particular emphasis is placed on combining practical knowledge, mathematical methods and applicability through "soft skills". The finance-related content is rounded off by a specially tailored legal component. Case studies instead of dry theory: Based on the requirements of practice, the study program focuses more on learning in projects and on examples, similar to international business schools. From the very beginning, you will work on practice-related topics and only deal with theory after you have worked out your own solution. The work is often done in small groups during the courses or in term papers, for which you are in direct and intensive contact with your supervisor: Each supervisor offers special class sessions in which they are available to provide individual guidance for your assignments. Since you will present your work regularly, you will learn early on how to prepare your found results, present them freely in front of groups, and defend them against criticism.

Career prospects

Graduates of the program typically work in the finance industry or in the finance department of multinational companies, e.g. in:

• banks, insurance companies and other financial service providers
• in the treasury, investment and financing departments of industrial companies
• management consultancies, auditing firms

Study structure

The international degree program is designed for seven semesters. The fifth semester takes place entirely abroad. Some places are available at our partner universities for this purpose, but you can also look for places at other foreign universities. In these cases, please discuss the combination of subjects you would like to choose with us in advance. The program offers room for a wide range of possibilities here. There are few restrictions in terms of content, because the higher semesters are organized in modules that can be combined in any way and you can largely determine your own focus. We prepare you thoroughly for the semester abroad, for example through information events and by ensuring that the fourth semester is held in English throughout.
