The master's seminar “New Technology and Current Trends in Accounting” offered in the summer term is aimed at students that take the major “Financial Management and Accounting” and have a strong interest in accounting. The content of the seminar revolves around highly relevant issues, usually including sustainability reporting.

To apply for the seminar, please register for the course in KIS by the start of the lecture period of the summer term and send a short and informal email to accounting@wiwi.rptu.de.

Once the seminar places have been allocated, the semianr topics specified by the chair according to the overarching seminar topic will be assigned to participating students in a mandatory kick-off event, taking their preferences into account as far as possible. Further on-site sessions will take place, during which further basics will be taught and students themselves will give short presentations on their topics.

Finally, students develop a proposal in a written seminar paper to answer a research question that they have developed themselves. It is recommended to participate in the master's seminar to be well-prepared for writing a master's thesis at the department.

Key facts:

The seminar will take place on four scheduled dates (typically Wednesdays, 15:30 - 17:00, room 42-361). The exact dates will be communicated on a timely basis.
