What is it?

If you are interested in the world of the financial services industry and therefore in a degree program in Financial Services and would like to combine professional practical experience with a degree program or acquire an additional vocational training qualification, our degree program is ideal for you. In the degree program Financial Services (cooperative degree program), you have the choice between the specialization options “Insurance cooperative degree program plus apprenticeship”, “Insurance cooperative degree program plus professional internship” or “Banking cooperative degree program plus professional internship”.

  • Plus apprenticeship:
    In the “plus apprenticeship” option, you will complete vocational training as an insurance and finance services broker in addition to your university studies. During the application process, you will choose the specialization option Insurance.
  • Plus professional internship:
    You can choose the “plus professional internship” option if you have completed vocational training in business administration and are employed by a company in the financial services industry that cooperates with our degree program. By having your professional experience credited, it may then be possible for you to start directly in the 3rd semester of our degree program. During the application process, you will choose between the specialization options Insurance or Banking.

The cooperative degree program is characterized by particularly close cooperation between the university and the cooperating companies in terms of content and practice. You will acquire broad and integrated knowledge of insurance, banking, and financial services on the basis of the most recent available data in the field of national and international financial services markets. In addition to basic knowledge of general financial services markets, you will specialize in insurance or banking, depending on the area you have chosen to focus on.

Contents

The degree program is based on general business administration training, which is supplemented by further insights into the functional and methodological features of business management in insurance, banking, and finance companies.

This fundamental knowledge of business administration is supplemented by modules in quantitative methods as well as elements of risk management and management in the fields of insurance, banking, and financial management. Teaching currently focuses on the digitization of financial service processes in particular.

The theoretical training is continuously coordinated with the cooperating companies.

The required elective subjects and the courses offered by the Language Center and the Competence & Career Center enable you to acquire additional qualifications.

The phases of practical training in the cooperating company are completed during the semester as well as during the semester break. You will complete your bachelor's thesis at the cooperating company.

What can I do with it?

Upon successful completion of your studies you will be a qualified business economist for financial services, specialized in insurance or banking.

You will be well prepared to support the management in insurance companies, banks, and integrated financial services companies at various managerial levels and, after an appropriate induction period, to take on management responsibilities yourself.

Due to the high degree of relevance to the labor market, graduates of the degree program are met with a high level of demand from the insurance and banking industries, management consulting and auditing sectors as they embark upon their careers.

What our graduates say

Mark Rodewyk

The dual studies program was the ideal way for me to combine theory and practical experience and to facilitate my entry into professional life through practical lectures. The exchange with the professors was also enriching beyond the content - current industry topics and economic developments were discussed together. I was much better prepared for my master's degree in many areas.
