Our 1-year Master's Accountancy and Control prepares you for a career in accountancy or financial management. The programme offers you a challenging combination of academic training and the practical application of accounting and financial management related topics.

In this Master's programme, you choose one of the tracks. You will experience a combination of general courses and track-specific courses. You are allowed to switch tracks after you have started in the programme.
In the Accountancy track, you will focus on the core questions: 'How can users rely on the information provided in financial reports?' and 'How do preparers of financial reports provide relevant information to users?'
In the Control track, you will focus on the core question: 'How can management accounting information help organisations to reach their goals?'
