The minor “Digitization and Digital Businesses” responds to increasing digitization processes in businesses and tax consultancy, while the “Quantitative Methods” module prepares students for scientific work approaches in the field of taxation. Furthermore, students can choose between “Accounting & Auditing” and “Business Law” as additional minors. Overall, graduates of the degree program qualify for a profession in tax consultancy or tax departments of companies as well as for working in ministries, financial administration or international organizations. Renowned partners from the industry and practice offer valuable insight into the different fields in courses and guest lectures.
