The Hochschule der Deutschen Bundesbank, established in 1976, is a specialized institution dedicated to training future professionals for the German central bank and the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). Located in the historic Schloss Hachenburg in Rhineland-Palatinate, the university offers a unique dual Bachelor of Science program in Central Banking. This three-year program combines theoretical studies with practical training, alternating between academic instruction and hands-on experience within the Bundesbank and BaFin. The curriculum covers a comprehensive range of subjects, including general business administration, banking operations, financial mathematics, accounting, statistics, economics, law, and central banking operations. Approximately 20% of the courses are conducted in English, reflecting the institution's commitment to internationalization. Students have opportunities for international exchanges, such as study visits to partner universities like the University of Toulon in France and participation in programs at the PBC School of Finance in Beijing.
