General information

Do you want to master the language of business, accounting and finance? In this MSc programme, you’ll focus on accounting and financial management skills, and explore important societal trends such as data and analytics. There’s a close connection between state-of-the-art academic knowledge and business practice.

In the four core courses you’ll learn the crucial role that accounting and financial information plays for managers, external stakeholders and society at large. You’ll also choose electives to specialise for your career in accountancy, financial management and controlling, or financial advisory.

You will:

  1. Learn economic and behavioural theory, analytical methods and core models of accounting and financial management.
  2. Generate sustainable solutions for complex accounting and financial management problems using qualitative and quantitative methods, and understand the managerial implications.
  3. Design and execute a research project in a business context.
  4. Learn how to effectively communicate with managers, regulators, external stakeholders and society.
  5. Reflect on your ethical responsibility and influence, abilities, and limitations.
  6. Train your soft skills training to develop your leadership skills and leverage the advantages of team diversity.

The programme is aligned with post-graduate education programmes to become a certified auditor (RA/CPA/ACA) or certified management accountant (RC). You also have the unique opportunity to prepare for the Certified Management Accountant exams to earn the CMA qualification simultaneously with the MSc degree.

Highlights

  • Study association activities in companies, and with students from other master programmes to expand your social life and international network.
  • Be part of the AFM student group: a great, collaborative and motivating community.
  • Explore real business issues at the Big Four and other large firms.
  • Become an auditor, a controller or a management controller – and combine the programme with the CMA qualification.
  • International faculty members and student body, with a balanced gender ratio.

The 2021-2022 tuition fee for the MSc programmes is approximately €18,700 per year. The Dutch government contributes towards this cost for students who hold nationality from a country belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA). These students, therefore, pay only the statutory fee of €2,168 per year. Please note that tuition fees are subject to change.

For EEA nationals who have already completed a master in the Netherlands (and obtained the diploma) the tuition fee for a 2nd master is €12,300.

The MSc International Management - CEMS (18 months) is a longer programme, therefore the tuition fee will have to be paid for the duration of the programme.
