Fiscal Studies

Tax legislation is becoming increasingly complex. For this reason, there is a severe shortage of competent tax experts in today's job market. The traditional bachelor's and master's degree programmes offer an inadequate response to the growing demand for far-reaching specialisation in the field of tax. The postgraduate certificate in Fiscal Studies fills this void.
