Teaching concept of the professorship
The Professorhip of Managerial Accounting offers a versatile and practice-oriented teaching concept based on three central pillars:
Methodical foundations
Students receive in-depth training in the central methods and tools of managerial accounting. Particular emphasis is placed on how these tools can be used to solve practical business management problems.

Practice-oriented problem-solving skills
In addition to specialist knowledge, the job description of a managerial accounting also requires strong problem-solving and communication skills. The advanced lectures and seminars therefore focus on practical case studies. The aim is to promote the ability to lead constructive discussions and to present one's own solutions convincingly.
