About this programme
The Master's programme covers the areas of Business Administration, Tax Planning, Taxation Law and Finance in an integrated manner. The course can be seen as a comprehensive, integrated education package. In total, the duration of the seminars amounts to around 530 lecture hours spread over two semesters. In addition, course participants attend the annual Hamburg International Tax Conference. During the seminars, basic terms such as limited and unlimited taxation are explained, methods of avoiding double taxation are expanded upon, and the specific principles of the taxation of international activities are explored. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of taxation systems in selected countries and on the process of international taxation in light of EU law and double taxation treaties. In addition to business and legal issues, financial issues are also examined. Degree to be achieved: Master of International Taxation (M.I.Tax)
Lectures take place over a period of one year on Fridays and Saturdays. This enables those working as international taxation professionals to take part in the course. The full-time programme consists of two semesters in which students are required to attend classes and complete a Master’s thesis. The part-time programme (study alongside work) consists of two semesters in which students are required to attend classes and one semester in which they complete a Master's thesis. With a maximum of 25 course participants, the lively seminars, lectures, discussions and case studies are intimate and practically relevant. Lecturers cover the principles of international taxation and analyse the tax systems in selected countries in both English and German. They deal with the advantages of international taxation and examine international tax planning in detail.
