Subjects such as financial management, management accounting, and marketing will give you a solid grounding in economics and finance. Furthermore, you have the opportunity to improve your English language and research skills
Second Year

In the second year, you will get a more profound knowledge of the subjects of accounting information systems (AIS), auditing, management information systems, and risk management.
