10: The bachelor degree in banking and finance lasts a total of six semesters.

16: You can later specialize in either banking & finance, international economics or insurance business.

24: We not only educate people for the banking industry, but also for insurance companies

30: and large industrial companies, where our graduates then work in treasury, financial

35: markets, risk management or similar areas. Every time connected to finance.

41: Our bachelor programme takes place 4 times a week: from Monday to Thursday, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

49: and one blocked week in January.

52: And after six semesters the programme is completed.

60: We train graduates who are very welcome and sought after as employees in the world of

66: banking and finance and also in the business world.

70: They enjoy an excellent reputation because, in addition to the theoretical contents, we

76: clearly focus on practice and applied contents, which is why our graduates can start their

82: careers in a bank, an insurance company or a large industrial company immediately after their graduation.

90: What is special about the programme is that in close consultation with our partners in

95: business and the academic world we continually evaluate our curriculum contents and adapt

102: it not only to the contemporary transformation taking place in the industry but also try

108: to anticipate future developments in the market.

112: Digitization is for this reason a very big topic.

116: The whole thing will be more IT-heavy in the future.

121: And of course, we want our graduates to be in the same strong demand in 5 or 10 years

126: as they are today.

128: Therefore, there is a very close coordination on contents.

132: Exactly these contents are not only taught theoretically but also passed on one-to-one

138: to our students by practitioners.

141: You can even meet many local celebrities of the financial industry in the courses.

147: They know what´s going on in real life and in business life.

156: Many may be wondering why you should study banking and finance in these times, 10 years

163: after Lehman Brothers.

165: There still will be banks in 10, 20, and 50 years.

169: They will probably look a little different from today.

173: With this degree, you acquire a very broad, well-founded basic training that can be used

178: immediately in the banking and finance industry.

183: Above all, you are at the cutting edge.

186: Where do our graduates work?

188: In treasury, controlling, risk management, asset and liability management, wherever a

194: bank is controlled and managed.

197: You also learn here how a bank works, i.e. overall bank management and general business

203: administration are our issues.

206: But they also find their jobs in the customer area, i.e. corporate finance or private banking

212: where, despite of all digitization, there still will be human beings in 10 years who will

218: advise the major and the key customers.

222: We also see our graduates in insurance companies, either in actuaries or in risk management,

229: but also in large industrial companies, such as OMV or Siemens, where they work also in treasury,

236: compliance or in the relevant financial departments.
