Specialisation Tax and Technology
Are you a tech savvy and analytical thinker? Are you interested in the digital transformation of society and its potential impact on taxation? If so, the ‘Tax and Technology’ specialization of the IETL master’s programme is perfect for you. The rise of legal technology is rapidly changing the way in which we approach tax law. In the Tax and Technology specialisation, you will investigate the current technological trends and their tax-related transformations in parallel to your study of international and European tax law. This specialisation prepares you to become a tax lawyer of the digital technology era that is able to bridge the fields of taxation, data science and technology. Labour market demand for these tax and technology specialists is high and expected to increase.
