ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
The Executive Master’s in Taxation (EMT) is a multidisciplinary degree programme designed to expose African tax practition-ers to concepts and theories in the area of Public Finance, Tax Legislation, Applied Tax Policy and Tax Administration. The programme ta kes into account both strategic and operational aspects, using a primarily project-based and applied approach. It is a unique degree programme with a strong African and in-ternational focus. The programme is designed for experienced tax offici als, policy-makers and tax practitioners who wish to enhance their expertise in taxation and obtain an internation-ally recognised graduate degree in the field.
This full-time, 15-month master’s programme is a joint initiative by the African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF), the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the Berlin School of Economics and Law (BSEL) aim-ing at strengthening the capacities of future decision makers in the field of tax policy and tax administration.
At the core of the EMT programme are the Master stud-ies “Tax Policy and Tax Administration” provided by the Berlin School of Economics and Law (BSEL). Additional extra-cur-ricular activities and networking opportunities are offered to maximise students’ learning opportunities.
Students engaging in the programme will benefit from two excellent study locations — Germany and South Africa — en abling them to garner experiences from different profes-sional and cultural settings.
