Bianca Westwood

Procter & Gamble partnered with Frankfurt School to continue providing practical business experience to current FS Master in Management students. The aim was to develop a strategy to expand the current hairstyling portfolio of Pantene Pro-V within the German market.

AI Pontryagin or how neural networks learn to control complex systems
Lucas Böttcher
Optimal control of complex dynamical systems can be challenging due to cost constraints and analytical intractability. In our work, we propose a machine-learning-based control framework able to learn quasi-optimal control signals and steer complex high-dimensional dynamical systems towards a desired target state.
Deciding to do a master’s programme might not be the easiest task but finding the one that fits you best might be the most challenging part of it all. My personal criterion for an ideal programme was to have integrated classroom study and valuable corporate experience happening simultaneously.

Master in Auditing: Meine Erfahrungen als duale Studentin
Michelle Schröder
Nach jedem Studienblock im Sommer bin ich zur Arbeit zurückgekehrt und konnte das neu erworbene Wissen auf meinen Prüfungsmandaten anwenden. Es hat mir selbst große Freude bereitet, meine eigene fachliche Fortentwicklung so stetig und deutlich in der praktischen Umsetzung wahrzunehmen.
Upon receiving my admission at Frankfurt School, I could barely contain my joy. However, with the pandemic hitting across the globe and throwing everything into uncertainty, I was dismayed. My chances of studying in Frankfurt within the classroom environment seemed impossible to achieve.

From Frankfurt School via BCG to my own business

Klaus Henneberg

While pursuing my second bachelor’s degree in philosophy parallel to my Masters, I learned to cope with very different topics simultaneously. Looking back, this is a big plus for my new career path, where I am continuously dealing with interesting and totally new topics every day.

Being part of a community starting from day one

Ruben Louis Thiemann

The more research I did, the more I realized what exactly makes FS stand out. Yes, it has excellent career services, an expansive professional network, and high post-graduation salaries. However, what drew me to FS the most was its diverse and supportive environment.

Sind finanzerfahrene CEOs die besseren Krisenmanager?
Sebastian Urthaler
Mit dieser Fragestellung habe ich mich im Rahmen meiner Masterarbeit auseinandergesetzt. Konkret habe ich mir die Kursentwicklung börsengelisteter Unternehmen in Deutschland zum Ausbruch der Coronakrise Anfang 2020 angeschaut und untersucht, ob Unternehmen mit finanzerfahrenen CEOs besser abgeschnitten haben als andere.
Before this challenge, I had never actually considered starting my own business. I am, however, very excited and grateful to have been given the opportunity to go through this process and also to apply a lot of the skills we have acquired at FS so far.

Moving from a small country to the financial centre of Europe for my master's
Hayk Darbinyan
Frankfurt is an international city, and people are often fluent in English, so no one should expect communication issues while staying in Frankfurt.  The city has a well-developed infrastructure, and the city is easily accessible via public transport.
It has been exactly one year since I moved to Frankfurt. Looking back over this time, it truly is astonishing to see how one can discover so much about life and grow in so many ways in such a short amount of time. From a young age, I was interested in studying abroad and meeting people from all parts of the world.

Internship at Visa – dipping my toes in the water of digital payments

Mona Jasmin Baumann

As my first year in the Master in Management programme came to an end, the question arose: You have 3 months off from lectures, do you relax and recharge or work full-time as an intern? As you probably have guessed, I chose to look for an intern position for the semester break.

SPACs: turbocharging IPOs

Prof. Dr. Christoph Schalast

With the arrival of SPACs (Special Purpose Acquisition Companies), the German stock market is experiencing a type of IPO which we would never have anticipated – especially during a pandemic. Even so, SPACs can do much more than they’re generally given credit for.

My first impressions of Frankfurt School
Marius Heinrich
I guess everybody can agree that starting a new chapter in your life is always, at least a bit, scary. For me, this new chapter involved moving from a place near Bielefeld, the city that does not exist, to Frankfurt to start my Master of Finance journey at Frankfurt School.
I started the Master in Management in August 2021. Because of my engineering background (I have a bachelor’s in aeronautical systems engineering), going to a business school was a big step. Still, I decided to take a leap and just go for it.
