From October 5 to 17, 2026, the Faculty of Economics at the University of Toulon is hosting 12 German students from the University of Applied Sciences of the Bundesbank, accompanied by Prof. Dr. Beate Jüttner-Nauröthe.

During their stay, courses for the MBFA master's students are conducted in English, focusing on interactive content applied to monetary, banking, and financial issues.
Under the guidance of Cécile Bastidon, students step into the role of a central banker to participate in a difficult decision-making process with their peers. With Benjamin Alvarez, they must solve a puzzle to find the trader responsible for leading a bank to bankruptcy. With Olivier Radelet, they use the Telomedia platform to create financial education videos that will be broadcast on social networks as part of the series « Young bankers ».
After their days at the university, free time is dedicated to discovering the Toulon area and the charms of Provence. Activities such as the cable car, the boat tours of the harbor, and the beaches of Mourillon allow students to bond during convivial moments. It is recognized that the German and French students impress equally with their academic qualities and their propensity to spread good humor and team spirit!
First-year students of the MBFA master's program, directed by Nicolas Huchet, were also noted for their willingness and presence during the highlights of this stay. A great success, which makes us eager to join the German University of the Bundesbank in a few months to continue this partnership and foster Franco-German friendship.
