Since the summer semester of 2025, we have offered the Master study program Management Control with two Major specializations. You can choose between:
- Controlling & Management
- Tax & Accounting
The previous Master Management Control has been transferred to the Major “Controlling & Management”. There have been no changes here. What is new, however, is the “Tax & Accounting” Major with modules such as “Tax Planning”, “Case Studies on Tax Law” and “Selected Topics of Auditing and Reporting”.
The first semester is the same for both study majors . From the 2nd semester onwards, the students are in their majors , but also have 3 modules in common. In the third semester, a specific Major module takes place before the master's thesis. Otherwise, you can design the last semester individually by choosing your master's thesis topic.
- Application-oriented teaching
- Personal atmosphere through small groups
- High practical orientation through projects and case studies
- Great CHE results
- Diverse career prospects
