Masters in International Tax
I am trying to select a university to do a masters in international tax. From my searches, the Maastricht University, seems to be a good choice. Their Problem Based Learning approach suits my study style. On completion of the masters program, my plan is to be a tax advisor in private practice, either after doing a PhD programme or, and working with a major firm. My background is not law. I am a professionally qualified accountant, with several years working with international companies and international clients. I am from the Caribbean and will require a visa to study in the Netherlands. Thu Sep 25, 2008 07:27 AM I would appreciate getting any feedback and comments that will critique my choice of university. How the Maastricht University is ranked against other universities offering the same type of programs, how employers and clients view this university, etc. The Maastricht University student experience, student profile, classes etc. Tips on the admission procedures, obtaining a visa, accommodation, internships, etc. I am looking to start September 2009. Send your response on any aspect, thanks [Edited 25 Sep 2008 by Casey] |

Masters in International Tax
Hi Casey!Mon Sep 29, 2008 06:47 PM Nice to meet you here. I am considering to send my apllication to Wienna. I must confess that the first factor in case of my choice is tuition fee. Lueven is the object of my desire (especially because of the high professional background of the deutch tax law firms), but it is ridiculously expensive. I am 26, have a law degree, a post graduate lawyer-economist degree,and I began a CPA study 6 months ago. I cant help you with any useful information on visa, accomodation, etc, but I think that is too early to think about them, before the admission process. bye for now B. |

Wed Oct 01, 2008 12:29 AM Thanks B for your response. re your tuition fee, you could search for possible available grants or scholarships. I am still planning on applying to the Maastricht University, from my initial feedback I should be granted admission. I would like some responses as to how firms view and rank this program and this university. Also, which other universities offer a similar program, and similar learning approach – i.e. mostly case based studies. Good luck with your application. |
