Student Projects
The projects take place over several semesters – particularly in the second and third semesters – and are an integral part of the specialisation modules. The topics are geared towards current challenges in the financial sector, such as ESG reporting, digitalisation in controlling, financing innovations or strategic management in growth phases.
Close collaboration with regional, national and international companies creates particular added value. Our partners come from the fields of banking, insurance, industry, consulting, start-ups and the public sector, among others. Through these collaborations, students gain valuable insights into real decision-making processes and establish contacts with potential employers at an early stage.
The benefits for students are manifold:
- Direct practical relevance to the content of the degree programme
- Training in social and methodological skills such as project management, teamwork, presentation and communication
- Development of a professional network – often with concrete prospects for internships, working student activities or career entry
- Starting points for Master’s thesis topics that can be developed and supervised together with companies
- First steps into consulting practice by working on real business cases
The practice-oriented project phases not only promote professional specialisation, but also personal development. Students learn to take responsibility, develop solutions and present their ideas convincingly – precisely the skills that are crucial in professional life.
