Career Perspectives after Graduation

With the pace of financial innovation, the need for highly qualified people trained in financial engineering also increases. In many areas, the financial industry is currently facing structural changes to its offerings, IT systems and processes. The operational picture is characterized by a high project volume. Due to the high cost and competitive pressure, employees must be able to think and act in a cost-conscious, networked and innovative manner. This increasingly requires an interdisciplinary academic education for managers and future managers with modern IT skills, skills in designing industrial processes up to skills in managing large change programmes.
