Banking Award Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein’s Bankers’ Association rewards outstanding academic achievements in the field of banking and finance while completing a bachelor or master thesis. Graduates from all bachelor and master programmes at University of Liechtenstein, whose thesis was at least rated as "good" (5,0) can apply. The award is endowed with up to CHF 5'000.

The Banking Award Liechtenstein, sponsored by the Liechtenstein Bankers Association, honours outstanding graduate and undergraduate thesis projects. The award-winning projects stimulate innovation and provide an incentive to strive for excellence, rather than settle for what is merely adequate.
