What is it?
With the Master of Science in Insurance and Banking, you’ll specialize in banking, insurance, and finance. The focus is on in-depth and research-based discussion of major management tasks in the German and international banking, insurance, and capital market sectors. A particular area of interest are developments and challenges relating to the digitization of processes in financial services (digital finance, cryptocurrencies, blockchain, etc.) Tight integration with the Master of Science in Controlling and Finance means that extensive options can be offered.

What our graduates say
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.
The Insurance & Banking degree program and the program management were awarded the 2017 prize for commitment to teaching and nominated for UNICUM's Professor of the Year 2024. According to WiWi-Online, the degree program is considered a "talent factory".
