Courses & curriculum 2023 - 2024

Your education will focus on management and controlling, but it will also give you an overview of financial accounting principles. The opportunity to choose electives allows you to tailor your master’s programme to your interests. Courses prepare you to design management control instruments (such as scorecards, managerial incentives, budgets, etc.), to implement strategies, assess their effectiveness and prepare reports, design and improve internal reporting systems, and help management to improve their pricing and mergers & acquisitions decisions. Several firms participate in our curriculum by providing workshops, and in the Strategic Performance Analysis course, a number of smaller firms allow students to work on small-scale consulting projects. Small teaching groups and practical case studies are excellent preparation for the world of work.
