About the course

An English-taught business degree with a finance focus. It starts with foundation courses such as marketing, accounting and global management, then moves on to finance modules including Financial Instruments (shares and bonds), Portfolio Management and Applied Asset Management. It includes an integrated internship and a thesis.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • SRH asks for a general university entrance qualification and follows German recognition rules: the Leaving Cert gives direct entry only with six subjects, at least two at Higher Level with H5 or better and the rest at O6/H6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. Confirm with SRH admissions.
  • For business subjects, German rules require Higher Level Maths at H5 or better, which is also sensible preparation for a finance focus.
  • English: you must prove your English, or take the SRH English Proficiency Certificate test. Ask admissions whether they accept Leaving Cert English.
