Program description
Business goes global - taxes don't stay local: This is the principal behind Germany's first Master of International Taxation (M.I.Tax) offered since 2001. Highly complex tax problems have arisen as tax law has become more international. The continuing studies program "Master of International Taxation," which students can attend while working, imparts theoretical and practical knowledge of international taxation, equipping future tax experts to solve complex problems. Students learn to judge the legal, corporate and financial consequences of various tax concepts within the context of globalization. This program is interdisciplinary. Courses are given by international academics and practitioners. An introduction to sixteen European and non-European tax systems constitutes a fundamental aspect of this program.
Career prospects
The Master of International Taxation trains future experts on international tax issues in the fields of tax advising (lawyers, tax advisors, financial controllers, staff members of tax departments), research, financial administration, governmental offices and international organizations. In accordance with valid regulations for tax advisors, graduates are awarded a certificate attesting to their knowledge of international tax theory and required for the title "Expert for International Tax Law".
Program structure
Courses take place on Fridays and Saturdays. The full time program consists of two semesters in which the students are required to attend classes and complete a master's thesis. The part time program consists of two semesters in which students are required to attend classes and one semester in which they complete a master's thesis. In addition to international tax planning, the program imparts an understanding of the principles of international taxation, taxation for corporate and non-corporate activities and transnational trade.
