The program combines interdisciplinary scientific knowledge from mathematics - especially >>> financial and insurance mathematics as well as stochastics and numerics - with economics and statistics. The skills acquired during the course of study should enable students to work independently, to critically classify and apply scientific results in the professional world, especially in the finance and insurance industry or in research. The demand of the economy for highly qualified, interdisciplinarily trained specialists with core competences in the field of mathematics as well as profound knowledge in statistics and economics is large and constantly increasing. The focus is therefore on teaching basic structures and techniques that enable the analysis and solution of mathematical problems in the finance and insurance industry. Career prospects are excellent due to the key qualifications acquired, such as the ability to abstract and analyze, organize complex issues and highly developed computer skills.

You can add a master's degree to your first undergraduate degree (e.g. bachelor's degree or State Examination) if you want to expand or specialize your knowledge. An increasing number are now in English — from American History to Physics. A master's degree program at LMU usually takes two years and is made up of 120 ECTS points.

In addition to an undergraduate degree, further qualification requirements may be necessary, which are detailed in the examination regulations for each master's degree.
There are consecutive master's degree programs that build on knowledge from undergraduate studies in the same subject. In other master's degree programs, the requirements can be met with different academic degrees, because they require certain fundamentals that are not restricted to a single subject area. Weiterbildende Master (career-integrated master's degree programs) also require relevant professional experience. Students in these programs are usually required to pay additional tuition fees.
You can find information on individual degree programs in the LMU Degree Program Finder.
