Study course Business Administration
Speciality in Taxation and Auditing
Well-qualified employees are one of the most important contributory factors to a company’s success. Specialist knowledge, soft skills and practical experience determine the level of competence and commitment in the firm. The Business Studies course in the form of a sandwich course alternating between the University of Cooperative Education and the company forms the ideal foundation:
Our parallel classroom/company timetable (2½ days practical training and (minimum) two days per week in the University) ensures on-going integration in the company and introduction to practical assignments. Students become actively engaged in the firm’s daily activities from early on.
The overall economic environment
The scope and complexity of Federal German Fiscal Law demands a broad understanding of economic and logical contexts. For this reason, knowledge of Tax Law acquired as an administrative assistant or as a trainee eases entry into this area of employment. The University of Cooperative Education, with its sophisticated study course which includes an introduction to International Law, offers its graduates a comprehensive, interesting field of activity in many and varied sectors. Besides the fundamental areas such as taxes, accounting and auditing, the course contributes to the awareness of the overall economic situation.
