We distinguish between basic, standard, and advanced elective modules. The basic elective modules Management Accounting and Control (3 ECTS), Financial Accounting and Analysis (3 ECTS) and Research Design (3 ECTS) take place on Tuesdays. If you are interested in these electives, we recommend taking these elective modules at the beginning of your studies.
The advanced elective modules Advanced Financial Accounting and Reporting (3 ECTS), Advanced Corporate Finance (3 ECTS) and Current Issues in International Finance (3 ECTS) take place on Mondays. They deepen the content of the mandatory modules and should be taken towards the end of the programme.
All other elective modules are standard elective modules:
- Going Global (3 ECTS) and Agile Finance (3 ECTS) are block courses on three to four full-day teaching days.
- Business Planning (3 ECTS) is a coached group activity where students set up their business plans.
- Know-how Transfer (3 ECTS or 6 ECTS) allows students to have their internship or professional employment recognised by the programme.
Furthermore, modules from other Master's programmes of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts can be attended, such as currently Sustainability and Ethics in Banking and Finance (3 ECTS) or Organisational Transformation and Change (6 ECTS), or students can gain credit for modules from Master's programmes of other universities.
