Bachelor in Financial Management
Expected start in October 2027
AI meets Finance
Finance is changing – and your career can change with it.
Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally transforming financial management. Financial analyses are becoming more data-driven, financial models more powerful, and decisions increasingly supported by AI. Companies, banks, insurance firms, auditing, and consulting companies therefore need specialists who understand finance, can work with data, and can strategically deploy modern AI tools.
At the same time, the demands on professional careers are changing. Especially for young people who have successfully started their professional lives with vocational training, an academic degree becomes an important next step to optimally leverage their career development opportunities. Those who want to take on more challenging specialist tasks in the future, qualify for leadership responsibilities, or enter fields such as Corporate Finance, Investment Banking, Asset Management, or Real Estate Management, combine valuable professional experience with a sound academic qualification through a bachelor’s degree.
This is precisely where the part-time Bachelor in Financial Management comes in.
The program builds on your professional experience and provides you with the financial expertise you need for the next career step. You will learn to analyze companies, develop financial models in Excel, evaluate investments, analyze stocks and bonds, optimize portfolios, value companies, and manage financial risks.
Artificial Intelligence plays an important role from the very beginning. You will not only learn to use modern AI tools but also to understand their results, critically evaluate them, and translate them into well-founded financial decisions.
What makes it special: You don’t study finance abstractly, but through real-world problems and practice-oriented case studies. This way, you directly connect scientific principles with applications from corporate and financial practice.
In the further course of your studies, you can specifically deepen your profile and further develop your personal career path.
As a graduate of the Bachelor in Financial Management (B.A.), you combine three competencies that are crucial for your further professional development:
Professional experience. Academic degree. Future Competence in Finance and AI.
