The Insurance & Finance program prepares students for the challenges requiring business and methodological competencies in the finance industry and, in particular, the insurance industry.

Having successfully completed the six-semester bachelor's program, our graduates know how to support the management of insurance companies and integrated financial services companies at different business levels. After a period of in-company training, they are able to confidently take over management positions in business and administration. In addition, our students learn what it takes to successfully start a business.

Course contents focus on the expertise relevant to insurance companies. This specialization builds on business and economic basics as well as quantitative economic theories, which are also taught in this program. Dealing with industry-specific questions, our students learn to professionally analyze problems and find appropriate solutions.

The insurance industry takes on risks on behalf of its clients and provides security based on stochastic processes. To ensure this in an increasingly dynamic environment, professional risk management is essential. Further central challenges in the course of ever-increasing competition are efficient controlling and sales and marketing management as well as modern information and communication technologies. In view of the increasing internationalization of the insurance industry, English proficiency is an essential part of our program.

Equipped with comprehensive business expertise, analytic skills and language competencies, our students successfully rise to meet these management challenges. Their expertise in the fields of business and economics is completed with industry-specific competencies. This degree program is complemented by tailored business English classes.

Interdisciplinary teaching contents introduce our students to networked thinking. Discussions of contemporary issues and lectures focusing on business practice help them successfully apply their expertise and analytic skills in a pragmatic way. This program focuses on interdisciplinary skills, developed to meet the needs of international financial service providers.

The close collaboration between the University and the business community is a fundamental pillar of our commitment to high-quality academic education, and to being at the forefront of the current and evolving practice of business. The bachelor's degree is the answer to an increasing demand for business experts with an academic background.
