Master seminar: Machine Learning in Finance and Economics

Current application period winter semester 2026/27

The application period for the master's seminar at the Chair of Financial Data Analytics in the winter semester 2026/27 is from June 22th, 2026 - July 29th, 2026.

Application process

For master's seminars at the Faculty of Economics, you must apply during the preceding semester. To ensure that a seminar place is made available to as many applicants as possible, there are both basic prerequisites and a structured registration procedure for Bachelor's seminars at our Chair.

Basic Prerequisites:

  • To write a seminar paper at our Chair, it is a prerequisite that you have successfully completed at least one course at our Chair with a grade of 2.7 or better.
  • Seminar papers at our Chair typically involve empirical analyses; therefore, basic proficiency in the programming language Python is desirable.

Registration procedure:

  • Please submit your documents (application form and current grade transcript) to us by the end of the relevant application period. To do this, please send an email to: beate.tettenhammer@uni-passau.de
  • In addition to these documents: entry in a central web form.

After reviewing the application documents, we promptly allocate the seminar places to the selected students. You then have the option of accepting or, if necessary, rejecting the place offered.

In a further round, the remaining seminar places will be filled. Afterwards, the students who were offered a place in the second round have the option of accepting the offered place or, if necessary, rejecting it.

Please note that your commitment is binding after the cancellation period has expired. In case of non-attendance or no examination performance, the seminar will be rated with 5.0.

End of the cancellation period for the winter semester 2026/27: July 20, 2026.
