International Taxation and Law, B.A.
In the early stages of this degree programme, you’ll acquire thorough knowledge of national fiscal law, particularly in the fields of income tax laws, procedural law and commercial taxation. In later stages, your knowledge base will expand to advanced topics in international taxation and law, for example bilateral agreements and supranational law, which are critically examined and discussed with respect to their supporting legal framework. Graduates are able to identify and evaluate sophisticated tax issues both in terms of economics and law, as well as develop appropriate, real-world solution concepts, particularly in the following areas: Transfer pricing, Controlled foreign corporate legislation, Double taxation conventions and International tax planning.
At the same time, the programme is also dedicated to exploring the logical interconnection between business administration, law and general economics. [...] The programme is taught in English, which allows you to refine your overall proficiency and develop not only effective business communication skills, but also an excellent command of English tax and finance terminology, boosting your employability in the international job market.

The highly interdisciplinary programme weaves together a range of complex subject areas – political science, economics, law, social sciences and research methods – which provides you with a sound theoretical basis. At the same time, you’ll acquire key methodological competencies for research and career contexts. This profound knowledge enables graduates to not only conduct sophisticated, expert analyses of current and future international relations, but also develop effective strategies and approaches to questions and issues in the field.
Our curriculum continually emphasises applied learning, which is reflected in the many small group exercises and projects where you’ll focus on the current developments and challenges in the field on both a national and a global level. At the same time, you’ll develop important managerial and interpersonal soft skills which will help prepare you for communication in complex business environments.
