Banking and Finance

Bachelorprogramm Banking und Finance

Banking and Finance provides a fascinating insight into the world of banks and financial markets, addressing questions such as: How do you value stocks and other securities? Where do companies obtain the capital for takeovers worth billions, and how do they decide where to invest? To what extent can turbulence affecting financial markets be attributed to psychological factors?

As part of your study program, you will look at the financial decisions that companies make, the role of banks, financial instrument analysis, how financial markets operate and how sustainable they are, as well as the issue of responsibility in financial markets.

Thanks to guest lectures from business representatives and seminars offered in cooperation with companies, you will come into contact with the professional world right from an early stage.
