• The program focuses on tax law, business law and business administration in approximately equal proportions and combines these in an interdisciplinary, holistic approach.
• Students can study topics of sustainability and digitalization (e.g., DATEV certificate). Economic content is complemented with foreign language, presentation and academic writing skills.
• In view of the internationalization of the professional world, course contents with international relevance such as international tax law, international accounting and European law are taught from the 4th semester on.
• Through partnerships with businesses, there is an early opportunity for work-related paid employment during the degree program. An internship in the 7th semester is the ideal introduction to the professional world, as the knowledge the students have acquired can be applied in practice, thus creating an additional link between practice and theory. In addition, the internship offers the opportunity to establish initial contacts with potential employers.

The program prepares its graduates for jobs in accounting/auditing, tax consulting and related professional areas. Due to the eight-semester degree program, the professional work period required to pass related professional examinations is considerably shortened. For example, the tax advisor exam can be taken after only two years and the auditor exam after only three years of professional experience. Passing the professional examinations also allows self-employment.

Due to the interdisciplinary approach, the high practical relevance and the eight-semester standard period of study, the program offers great prospects for a quick career start and a successful career.

Business lawyers with legal and business administration expertise are in great demand on the labor market, as they close the gap between lawyers and business economists. At Wiesbaden Business School, this combination is supplemented by a third component, tax law.
