Many students in your group are likewise employed in the finance and insurance industry. Both the small study groups and the common specialist background make a major contribution to your learning success. Accommodation will be provided, too. During both the theoretical parts in Mosbach and the practical parts of your studies, we will refund the cost of renting a flat on site. Alternatively, you will be provided with official accommodation. In addition, your travel costs will be covered by us in line with the Federal Travel Expenses Act (Bundesreisekostengesetz).

Moreover, you will receive net monthly pay of around €980 in your first year of studies.

As a salaried employee, you will be remunerated based on the Collective Agreement for the Public Sector (Tarifvertrag des öffentlichen Dienstes). At the beginning, your gross monthly salary will be approximately €3,695 and will increase to around €4,330 during the first three years on the job.
