Successful start to the four Executive Master’s programmes at the Institute for Financial Services

In September 2012, more than 60 students from Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Russia and Great Britain started their part-time degree programme.
For the next three semesters, the future tax, legal and financial experts will be attending a specialized, practice-oriented and demanding programme, in order to meet the expanding requirements and to measure up to the increasing competition. In the Executive Master of Laws (LL. M.) in International Taxation, the students explore the national and international tax law in Germany, Liechtenstein, Austria and Switzerland, the double taxation and tax information exchange agreements that exist between these countries, as well as international tax planning.

Students following the degree programme Executive Master of Laws (LL. M.) in Corporate Law are gaining in-depth knowledge on cross-border succession planning and asset management, which will enable them to offer qualified legal advice across countries. The newly designed degree programme Executive Master of Laws (LL. M.) in Banking and Securities Law, which is held in English, examines European financial-market, banking and securities law as a whole, including Liechtenstein law, while the participants of the Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) in International Asset Management  are learning how global financial markets operate, and increasing their knowledge of investment strategies and alternative investments, among other things.

Interdisciplinary qualification
Interdisciplinary (continuing) education is a joint aim of those responsible for the four Executive Master’s programmes on offer. This is ensured by the unique opportunity to attend individual modules of other Executive Master’s programmes free of charge. Together, the students will also be working on specific cross-border case studies during a modular workshop. A joint one-week study trip to Hong Kong and Singapore is also planned for autumn 2013.


Interdisciplinary (continuing) education: the four Executive Master’s programmes at the University of Liechtenstein have started successfully.
