FIM – A SUCCESS STORY

In 2004, FIM was introduced within the framework of the Elite Network of Bavaria. FIM has emerged as a great success story ever since: In addition to the University of Augsburg, the University of Bayreuth and the Technical University of Munich, other national and international scientific and business partners constitute this unique and individual study program. Furthermore, the high reputation of FIM is also demonstrated by the excellent position in the nationwide CHE Master-Ranking of 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017 and 2020 of the newspapers “Die Zeit” and “Handelsblatt”, in which FIM was ranked 1st in all categories.

Bastian Nominacher,
Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Celonis, 5th year of the FIM program

FIM is a unique master’s program that prepared me exceptionally well for starting my own company. As an entrepreneur, you need a diverse set of skills. FIM embraces this broad spectrum between finance, information systems, methods, and soft skills. With these skills, I can negotiate a complex contract with a customer, in the next moment discuss a valuation model with a finance specialist, and then review the product roadmap with a software engineer. But beyond the excellent curriculum, it’s the people that make this program so special. I still have close friendships with many former FIM students and enjoy the regular events and exchange opportunities in our Alumni Club. Also at my company Celonis we employee many FIM graduates in leading positions.

Christoph Gschnaidtner,
PhD student at the TUM School of Management, 8th year of the FIM program

Thanks to the individual support, intensive professional discussions, and early involvement in research projects, the FIM program more than sufficiently prepared me for my doctorate at the TUM School of Management. In addition to the excellent scientific and practical training, FIM has allowed me to “grow as a person” and learn new professional and personal skills. I was also able to surround myself with like-minded students who have become my friends for life. Without a doubt, I would choose this Master program again.

Dr. Barbara Stolz,
Investment professional at FSN Capital Partners and part of the board of the FIM Alumni e.V., 10th year of the FIM program

FIM is an exceptional program in many ways. The focus on the interface between finance and information management is spot-on and not only prepared me perfectly for my PhD in finance, but is also highly relevant today in my job in private equity, where we are constantly confronted with digital business models and pure financial knowledge is no longer sufficient. But what makes FIM most special are the people. The FIMily consists of highly motivated people who all want to make a difference and give something back. For this reason, I am also involved in the FIM alumni association as part of the association’s board – because as a lively and active network, we are an association of alumni for current students and alumni and are driven by the idea of giving back.

Management Consultant at BCG and CFO of 264.education, 11th year of the FIM program

I was looking for a Master’s program where I could follow my interest in Finance topics and get the opportunity to broaden my horizon. In many aspects FIM has exceeded my expectations. The combination of high-quality content and Soft Skill training has prepared me perfectly for my very demanding job. It has also grown my passion for social engagement that led me to my position at 264.education today. The FIMily is full of inspiring people and will always remain a very important part of my private as well as my professional life.

Daniel Kehne,
Managing Director at Tür an Tür – Digitalfabrik gGmbH, 11th year of the FIM program

The possibility to customize my Master’s program with elective courses had a strong impact on my decision to study FIM. This Master’s program is not limited to content-related education, but also seeks to promote personal development, reflecting discussions, and research projects. FIM can be a mind-opening experience if you are ready to embrace it – and engage in it. From managing a social enterprise after I graduated to winning the award as “CIO des Jahres”, FIM provided me with the necessary tools to grow personally and excel professionally.

The FIM(ily) experience was definitely the right choice for me and translated into development, both on a business, as well as on a personal level. The interdisciplinary approach promoted by FIM, as well as the mix of an excellent curriculum and soft skill seminars, have set the corner stones for my career. The resulting diverse skill set complemented by the inspiring people and the high performance environment in the program have enabled me to take on leadership positions early on, as well as a broad career perspective, such as changing roles from Corporate Finance to Strategy Development.

Prof. Dr. Benjamin Loos,
Professorship of Digital Finance, Academic Program Director FIM

Finance and Information Management is not just another Master’s program in Finance – it is much broader. You will learn how the current technological revolution is changing finance and how to manage digital transformations and disruptions in other fields, like climate change. The spirit of this change is not only visible in fast-growing fintech companies but also in how incumbent institutions invest and use data and technologies. It will affect business models, policy, and the way we regulate previously unknown technology but, most importantly, it will deliver better outcomes for customers.
