Programme selection →About the programme
With increasingly international interdependence and linkage comes growth in the activities of the financial markets. For this reason, financial management is becoming ever more important for successful corporate management. In the last years, methods and practices in the financial field have changed significantly. The financial services branches have become particularly more technology-driven. In companies, employees responsible for financial areas are always confronting new problems. They often have trouble keeping their knowledge up-to-date and being able to fulfill their tasks in a timely manner.

The goal of the Program in Financial Services and Corporate Finance is to train qualified managers and professionals for employment in the areas of banking and insurance, but also in corporations not directly active in the financial sector. Within this diverse occupational profile, the program focuses in particular on providing students with knowledge and skills in business administration and information technology, which enables students to fulfill demanding specialist and executive functions in corporate financial management.
The program is based on the concept of value-based corporate management as well as the modern theory of corporate finance and financial markets. It places a focus (in addition to the basic principles of business administration) mainly on the topics of risk management, financing, treasury, but also (to a lesser extent) on controlling and accounting.
The aim is to provide students with the analytic ability necessary for dealing with complex problems in a methodological and goal-oriented way. This includes not just teaching theoretical knowledge, but also practical skills through the use of information technologies (especially ERP-programs). Here, both current technical skills and the newest trends in the financial sector are taught. Students are empowered to competently and purposefully recognize and solve problems.
