The School of Humanities, Social Sciences and Economics of the University Center of International  Programmes of Studies of the International Hellenic University invites interested parties to apply for the  Postgraduate Programme of Studies "MSc in International Accounting, Auditing and Taxation" for the  academic year 2023-2024. Teaching takes place at IHU premises through flexible learning methods exclusively in English. 

The Academic Supervisor of the Postgraduate Programme of Studies is Professor Stergios Leventis, Director  of the Programme. The academics teaching on the programme come from universities both abroad and in Greece.

The postgraduate studies for this MSc programme lead to the acquisition of a Master’s Degree. The  programme curriculum requires the attendance of taught courses for two academic semesters for full-time  students and the completion of a master’s dissertation for one academic semester. There is also the possibility, upon request, of attending the programme on a part–time basis. In this case, the duration of the MSc will be double.

The International Hellenic University accepts, after a careful selection process, graduates from Greek  universities or equivalent institutions from abroad, as well as from Technological Educational Institutions in related subject areas, according to Law 4957/2022 and 4610/2019, as applicable.

The MSc in International Accounting, Auditing and Taxation of the International Hellenic University has been  designed with consideration to the following:

The environment of accounting, auditing and taxation, with its endless career opportunities and the  constant need for discerning, capable and business-flexible executives, is one of the most attractive choices  for postgraduate studies for students with an inclination for quantitative and accounting methods. In  addition, knowledge of accounting, auditing and taxation is combined with those of the science of finance  so that they provide the necessary knowledge for the understanding of the workings of the international 
financial environment in the function of businesses. Businesses require executives with specialized  knowledge in issues of international accounting, auditing and taxation, with developed inter-personal skills  and an in-depth knowledge and analytical ability so that they may succeed in a constantly changing and  complex business environment.

The selection of postgraduate students will be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of current  legislation based on the relevance of the subject of the candidate’s first degree with respect to the subject area of the postgraduate programme, the grades received in first degree qualifications, the grades received  on the thesis and undergraduate courses related to the MSc in International Accounting, Auditing and Taxation, the candidate’s certified proficiency in the English language and the candidate’s curriculum vitae.
