Master Financial Management and Control

How do you keep a large organisation healthy? That question has everything to do with business control. A challenge extending beyond the financial side. A business controller in the 21st century has to deal with an increasing amount of varied data flowing through the organisation. As CEO or CFO, how do you manage the development of your organisation in this situation? Which role does your organisational culture play in this, certainly if your organisation operates internationally? Which leadership styles are then the most effective? How do you organize your risk management accordingly? These are the essential questions.

The Master Financial Management and Control will deepen and broaden your knowledge and skills in this field. In this hands-on master programme you learn more about financial management, accounting and business control along the three learning lines Finance & Control, Human & Control and Research & Control. When you have successfully completed the study, you get the title of Master of Science.
