About

The general university entrance qualification for admission to a master's programme must be proven by the completion of a subject-related bachelor's programme, another subject-related programme of at least the same higher education level at a recognised domestic or foreign post-secondary educational institution, or a program defined in the curriculum of the master's programme. To compensate for significant differences in subject matter, supplementary examinations (maximum 30 ECTS credits) may be prescribed, which must be taken by the end of the second semester of the master's programme. The rectorate may determine which of these supplementary examinations are prerequisites for taking examinations provided for in the curriculum of the master's programme.

The following qualitative admission requirements according to § 63a Para 1 Universities Act also apply:

• 10 ECTS-equivalents in the areas of economics, mathematics and/or statistics
• 10 ECTS-equivalents in the areas of investment and financing, bank management, financial management or risk management
• In the winter semester 2024/2025, a fundamentally revised curriculum for the Master’s programme Banking and Finance will come into force. The Master's programme Banking and Finance and all other English-language Master's programmes at the Faculty of Business and Management have been fundamentally revised. The courses now include a more flexible range of (research) topics. One change is that the Master’s programme Banking and Finance and all English-language Master's programmes now have as an additional qualitative admission requirement a GMAT with at least 550 points or GMAT Focus with at least 525 points.
  For graduates of the Faculty of Business and Management at the University of Innsbruck, the GMAT is waived for an overall grade between 1.0 and 2.8. This admission requirement holds in addition to the existing requirement of 10 ECTS-equivalents in the areas of investment and financing, bank management, financial management or risk management.
