Master of Tax Law

The Master of Tax Law synergizes principles of economics, public administration and law, as taxation interferes in all three disciplines. Thus, the course content encompasses real estate law, trust law, corporate law, international finance, banking, intellectual property and investment law.

The study content depends on each individual university’s focus. Some universities teach a more international programme of taxation. Herein, European Union law, international trade law, and international business make up lectures, exercises and seminars. Other universities focus their programme locally. These Masters degrees provide you with the qualification to practise as national tax advisor or to work for public institutions.

Whether your Masters programme in Tax Law is open to lawyers or law-degree holders only or whether you may enter the study course as a non-law degree holder depends on the university you opt for. Usually, a Masters in Tax Law takes one year upon completion and is open to degree holders in the legal field. However, some part-time programmes exist that allow you to become an expert in taxation while you remain on the job.

Here, the entry requirement often includes profound professional experience in management. Contact your university directly to receive up-to-date information on application requirements.
