What about advising an entrepreneur on the profitability of a sustainable business concept? In the specialisation in Financial Management, you will gain expertise in tackling almost any finance related business challenge. You will become a rounded business expert with an entrepreneurial, finance mindset.

The Program provides a high-level education in the field of international taxation, with a strong emphasis on management.  Graduates can aspire to work at large international tax consultancies and law firms, internal tax departments of multinational companies, private equity houses and real estate funds, as well as multinational standard settings bodies such as the OECD. Leaders in the field of international tax will contribute as teachers in the specialization, each bringing their own expertise and practical vision to the courses. The Tax departments of these leading companies are amongst the largest employers in Luxembourg for young graduates.
  • The specialization in Accounting, Audit & Control* is characterized by a strong interaction with consulting, accounting, and audit sectors. It offers the possibility of starting an internship in accounting. You will understand the challenges and evolution of companies and the financial world, discover the accounting, environmental, and societal issues of organizations, and develop the technical skills needed in your journey to work in accounting, auditing, finance, and consulting.

Continuous assessment method

At LSB, the assessment method is based on a continuous approach.

Students have between 3 to 6 grading elements in each course allowing tracking of progress.

It offers students more support, guidance, and opportunities to improve during the course and reduce the risk of failure compared to a classical final examination method.

Human size classes

One class contains between 20 to 40 students in average.

In a majority of classes requiring group assignments, students will be divided in groups of 4 to 5 students.

This human size aspect of each class gives students an individualized learning experience and facilitates the practical approach of the courses.

International Study Trips

These excursions are an important part of the learning experience, designed to provide students with a first-hand understanding of how different financial centres cultivate their unique specialties and strengths. Through visits to cities renowned for their financial influence, students will gain invaluable insights into the diverse facets and operations of global finance, enriching their perspective and enhancing their understanding of international financial dynamics.

In 2023, Study Trips were organized in NYC, Singapore and Rwanda.

The study trips are not part of the curriculum and therefore
not mandatory. They will require extra fees.
