The study programme / profile
The demand for well-trained business administration specialists and managers is high, especially among medium-sized companies. The degree programme therefore focuses not only on undergraduate business administration but also on a targeted practical orientation and the teaching of key qualifications. The Tax Consultancy degree programme is specifically geared towards the needs of tax consultancy practice and therefore prepares students for a career in tax consultancy. In addition, the course also imparts knowledge that is important for a career in auditing or in tax, finance and accounting at (inter)national companies or non-profit organisations. It offers a classic practical and application-oriented basic education in business administration with a specialisation in taxation.
Specialisation options
After the basic and specialisation semesters and the practical semester, students on the Bachelor's degree programme in Tax Consultancy take the specialisations in Corporate Law, International Tax Law and Income Tax Law, which are firmly integrated into the degree programme, and choose a competence module as a further specialisation from the selection contained in the study and examination regulations.

Contents and course of study
The Tax Consultancy degree programme consists of six theoretical semesters and one practical semester. The first year of the programme comprises introductory content. The second year of study serves to deepen and expand the knowledge acquired so far through advanced and new modules as well as initial modules specialising in taxation. The fifth semester is an internship semester in a tax and/or auditing firm or in finance and accounting in Germany or abroad. In the sixth and seventh semesters, students take the compulsory competence module on income tax law as well as modules on corporate law and international tax law and choose a competence module (e.g. controlling, finance, business informatics, accounting and auditing) and complete their degree in tax consultancy with the Bachelor's thesis.

The dual study programme is a practice-oriented form of study that combines theoretical course content at universities with professional practice in a company. During their dual study programme, students complete both lectures at the university and practical assignments at the company, allowing them to acquire both academic knowledge and practical experience at the same time. In addition, the business administration degree programme with a focus/profile on tax is offered as a combined degree programme. The combined degree programme enables students to complete their training as a tax clerk and obtain a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in just four years. Students gain a sound insight into the practical side of the profession in their training company. At the same time, they are taught theoretical knowledge at vocational school and university. The aim is to apply the theoretical knowledge learnt directly in everyday working life.

Learn moreIt is important to distinguish whether you are applying for a Bachelor's or Master's degree programme. There is also a difference as to whether the Bachelor's degree programme is admission-free or admission-restricted (with NC). Further information on the application and admission procedure can be found here.
The university determines the number of places to be allocated for individual degree programmes. From the applications received for places on degree programmes with restricted admission, the best students from various groups (Abitur, Fachabitur, master's degree, second degree, etc.) are admitted according to a ranking list until the number of places to be allocated is reached. The NC (Nurmerus Clausus, average grade for admission) is calculated each year from the average grade of the last university place awarded. Experience shows that the NC fluctuates considerably from year to year when there are only a few study places to be allocated and cannot be predicted in advance of admission. It is therefore not the grade point average required for admission that is specified in advance, but the number of study places to be allocated.
Depending on whether you have already studied something similar or the same degree programme elsewhere, you either apply for a higher semester or start a new degree programme in the first semester. If you apply for a higher semester, the creditable examination results in particular determine whether you can be admitted. More information here.
If you can prove that you have already acquired comparable skills - either through professional experience or as part of a previous degree programme - you can apply to have these recognised. The application must be submitted to the Student Service Centre and will then be reviewed by the relevant examination board. You will be informed of the decision after approx. 2-3 weeks. The application can be found here.
Once you have registered in the applicant portal and uploaded your documents, you will be kept up to date on the progress of your application. If something is missing or incorrect, which would lead to exclusion from the award procedure, you will also be notified there. The letter of admission is also available for download there. Click here to go to the applicant portal.
As part of the application process, if you accept the study place offer, you must contact your health insurance company and inform them that you intend to start studying at Landshut University of Applied Sciences. The health insurance company will then confirm directly to us via a digital message that health insurance cover is in place. If you have private health insurance, you must consult a statutory health insurance company and request confirmation of exemption. This will also be reported to us digitally. Information on health insurance during your studies can be found here.
By paying the student union fee, which must be paid before starting your studies and then once per semester, you acquire a semester ticket. This semester ticket entitles you to use local public transport in the area covered by the Landshut Transport Association (LAVV). The semester ticket is printed on the student ID card and must be presented without being asked before travelling. Details can be found here.
The student ID card is sent to you by post before you start your degree programme. You can use your student ID to pay in the canteen or use the 24-hour library, for example. The semester ticket is also printed on the student ID card. The student ID card must be revalidated for the following semester after re-registration. You can find out more here.
For all degree programmes that are not part of the continuing education academy, there are generally no tuition fees. Irrespective of this, the student union fee must be paid once per semester. This solidarity contribution provides financial support for the canteen or the student halls of residence of the Studentenwerk Niederbayern/Oberpfalz, for example. The semester ticket is also included. Further information here.
