Universiteit Maastricht

Student profile

You should be a team player and a critical thinker with a basic understanding of the way organisations work. Mathematical ability and quantitative skills are a plus, though a good degree in any discipline is welcome. While accounting may not sound all that glamorous, this track is often more about people than money: it’s about interpreting financial figures in a real-life context that affects people in real businesses. Teamwork and interpersonal skills are therefore as important as numerical skills.

Are you enthusiastic, internationally focused and eager for a career in accounting or auditing? Do you want to get right to the core of business – working within the central nerve system of any company? Are you interested in interpreting numbers, as well as gathering them? Do you aspire to become an auditor or financial consultant? Accountancy puts you on the fast track to success.
