Overview

After a general look at the most recent mainstream and heterodox economic theory, the Master’s specialisation in Accounting and Control totally immerses you in the world of governance, control and accounting. You will learn everything about the figures that make businesses operate and the meaning they convey to internal and external stakeholders. Further, this Master's specialisation also examines the social side of the profession in order to train you to be critical of a company’s financial processes as well as your own profession and to consider the consequences of the decisions you make.
