About the Program

The Master's program Finance, Accounting, Controlling, Taxation (FACT) offers a first-class management education with a strong international orientation, opening up a wide range of career opportunities. The four-semester program provides a scientifically sound and practice-oriented management education in two quantitatively oriented profiles: Risk & Finance and Accounting & Taxation. It offers specializations in areas such as financial management, accounting, controlling, tax management, auditing, risk management, and insurance. The program consists of both application-oriented components and more scientifically oriented learning units. Students develop theoretical and practical expertise while acquiring career-oriented social competence and the ability to identify business tasks and independently develop solutions. From the beginning of their studies, students deepen one of the two profiles and sharpen their personal area of competence through their individual selection of elective modules from the different specialization areas. The third semester is a study abroad or practical semester where students can apply their acquired knowledge either in practice or test it abroad.
