In combination with specialist expertise in accounting, company law, international law, labour law and/or business organisation, you will be ideally equipped for a career in tax consultancy, auditing or business consultancy (consulting).
Your education at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics at Paderborn University is designed to offer you a broad range of methodological knowledge in addition to specialist aspects, which you can use profitably in your professional practice.
You should take the study recommendations for the various Paderborn degree programmes developed in the following overview as a suggestion for your individual study planning. However, a good knowledge of corporate taxation and internal and external accounting is essential for tax and business consultancy professions.
„I particularly liked the fact that I was able to actively work on current research projects at the chair and was in close contact with Mrs Sureth-Sloane and all the doctoral students.”
„During my time at the chair, I had the opportunity to gain exciting insights into research processes and to work on interesting projects. In addition to the diverse tasks, valuable friendships have developed from the collaboration, which have lasted beyond my studies.”
„The TAF Master's programme was an incredibly valuable experience for me. The practical cooperation modules made it easier for me to start my career and helped me to make many of my fellow students as friends through the numerous group projects.”
„I have fond memories of my time as a research assistant, particularly because of the very varied areas of responsibility and activities, which meant that the work was always interesting, but also challenging.”
„The outstanding teaching, combined with the numerous extra-curricular, practice-orientated and, above all, international opportunities offered by the TAF Master's degree prepared me perfectly for the challenges of the practical world and made my time at UPB unforgettable.”
„The mixture of subject-specific cooperation modules and the option of choosing modules from the entire module catalogue have made the TAF Master's programme a well-rounded one.”
