Since 1996 he has been professor of banking, financial market analysis and portfolio management at the then newly founded University of Applied Sciences in Ingolstadt. In the meantime May was vice-president of the university, then dean of studies in the business department and was appointed chairman of the faculty's examination committee. A teaching and research stay of several months as part of a professor exchange program at two partner universities in India, Goa University and the Goa Institute of Management, rounds off his work as a university lecturer.

Services

In 1997 he founded the ikf-Institut GmbH, a company that sees itself as a service provider for the financial services sector. As the scientific director of ikf as well as a university professor, May works as a speaker , specialist trainer and consultant for bank executives and senior staff for topics related to the financial markets. As a consequence of the financial market crisis, he is particularly interested in the question of how high-quality investment advice can be reconciled with the need for sufficient commission income in so-called mass business. For this purpose, he has developed a securities sales concept.
