Location of Umea University
This program will help students to develop managerial skills, analytical skills as well as an understanding of rules and standards governing the conduct of accounting and auditing.
The program provides students with a thorough grounding in management accounting, financial accounting, auditing, financial statement analysis and valuation. Students can also during the elective periods choose to study for example corporate governance or tax law.
The program is suitable for students planning to work as auditors, consultants or within the accounting and controlling functions of companies.
Students applying for the program are expected to have attained some knowledge of accounting in their undergraduate curricula. The program is in English (except for some of the elective courses).
The program leads to a Master's Degree after two years but students can gradaute with a Magister Degree after only one year. At the moment the Swedish Degree system is undergoing major changes in order to adapt to the Bologna Declaration. The exact names of these two degrees are not finalised. New information will be presented here some time in the beginning of next year.

Contents
The first semester is spent studying core modules.
During the second semester you must decide whether to do one thesis each year of the program or only one larger thesis at the end of the program. If you chose to do two theses you will spend your second semester studying an elective module and undertaking your first thesis. If you choose to do one large thesis at the end of the program your second semester will be spent studying an elective and, depending on your preparation, a research methods module. (An internship is currently an elective course only for Swedish speaking students).
During the third semester you will be expected to broaden your knowledge by choosing a minor area of studies, that is core modules 1 and 2 from a specialization that is not your major area. The third semester ends with a mandatory course for all specializations studied jointly.
In the fourth semester you will either do an elective module and your second thesis or one large thesis.
