The degree programme Executive Master of Laws (LL. M.) in International Taxation will commence again in September 2012 at the University of Liechtenstein. An information event for prospective students will be held on 15 May at 6 p.m
The content of the Executive Master’s programme, which will now run for the second time, is based around specific cross-border issues and scenarios. The programme focuses particularly on the tax systems and the national and international tax law of the four German-speaking countries (Germany, Liechtenstein, Austria, Switzerland), the double taxation and tax information exchange agreements in place between these countries, and European tax law.
Interdisciplinary qualification
The Master’s degree programme responds to the increasing need for an interdisciplinary qualification in private wealth management in three different ways: the students work together with those from other Executive Master’s programmes (International Asset Management, Corporate Law and Banking and Securities Law) on specific cross-border case studies involving natural persons. They can also attend, at no extra cost, additional modules offered by other Master’s degree programmes, and a joint, one-week study trip to Hong Kong and Singapore is organized.
Tailor-made curriculum and learning environment
The programme’s curriculum, which is based on three semesters plus a Master’s thesis, is made up of courses in which students are expected to interact. The curriculum material itself is presented by staff members of the chair and experts from academia, administration and politics, and is analysed using practice-oriented case studies. Students can find all written documentation such as presentations, legislative texts and judicial decisions in a learning environment designed to support the programme. They also receive access to online databases, standard works of literature and legislative texts from German-speaking tax jurisdictions, as well as comprehensive course reserves relating to tax law.
