Goals
This skills training will make you familiar with different career paths with an accounting background. The course strongly enhance your teamwork, analytical, rhetoric, and accounting skills.
Description
During the first- and second-year accounting courses offered in our bachelor programs, you have studied the theories underlying the field of accounting, and you may have applied this to some real life cases already. In this skills course, we will follow up on this by introducing you to different roles an accountant can take in practice. The course consists of company workshops (organized by a sub-set of the Big4 accounting firms), allowing you to work on real-life cases. Working on these cases provides insights into the different roles accountants are confronted with in organizations and helps you to further develop your accounting- and social skills.
Literature
A collection of (academic) articles, workshops and case studies.
