Successful in international financial management
What are the significant control instruments of strategic planning and how do I implement them intelligently? How do I develop a relevant cost management system? What kind of insight can I derive from the application of academic capital theory? Which questions of company law are important for me? How does value-oriented corporate management function? How do I finance my company and ensure the necessary liquidity?
These are the fundamental issues which students in the master's degree programme of Controlling & Finance address in the first semesters. The course objective is the professional specialisation of knowledge both for corporate management and for corporate finance. In the following semesters, the focus is on concrete implementation in a company.
How do I control corporate subunits, e.g. profit centres? How do I design meaningful controller reports? How do things stand with the subject of liability for chief executives, managing directors or managers? If these questions appeal to you and make you curious, the master's degree programme in Controlling & Finance offers you precisely this knowledge and learning environment in which you can enjoy determining the focus of your own profession and career.
Managers in the area of Controlling & Finance are much more than accountants, controllers and the authors of reports from a bygone economic period. They are consultants and the designers of a successful leadership structure and create the basis for efficient corporate policy.
In order to enhance their personal profile students can also choose from 20 graduate modules offered in the master’s degree programme Module Library. The Library comprises courses grouped around the four main degree areas offered at our University: economics, engineering and technology, design and social studies.
