Master program in Accounting, Valuation & Financial Management
The MSc program in Accounting, Valuation & Financial Management offers a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum covering key areas such as financial reporting principles, business control, capital budgeting, financial analysis, and corporate valuation. Throughout all courses, we adopt an analytical and international perspective. For example, in our core financial reporting courses, we emphasize the fundamental concepts and principles underlying most international accounting standards, including IFRS. This focus ensures that the knowledge you gain remains relevant and valuable, even as specific accounting standards evolve. We view accounting as a language you need to understand in order to properly analyze and understand a business corporation.
As a top level program with a relatively low number of students, we can offer an intimate and creative learning environment. Our faculty (all active researchers) is engaged in pedagogical development and intrigued by the learning journey of our students.
