Taxation and Accounting – National and International Company Taxation and National and International Accounting is an interdisciplinary doctoral programme offering a sound insight into the world of public finance, taxation, business taxation and accounting at a national and international level. The tax aspect of the course focuses on national and international company taxation, viewed through the lens of three different disciplines.

The course’s focus on business also enables aspects of national and international accounting to be incorporated.

The basic courses are complemented by methodological courses aimed at consolidating your knowledge of empirical quantitative methods or methods of legal exposition. A research seminar is run each academic year, which gives you the opportunity to present papers you’ve written and report on the status of your thesis.
