Application for
International Executive Master of Auditing
|
| |
The Maastricht University, the University of Florida, and the Free University of Amsterdam have established a partnership to offer a new advanced degree to interested students, the International Executive Master of Auditing (IEMA).
The IEMA programme is designed to help students prepare for a future career in the auditing profession at the global level, and is especially relevant to students who already have a basic education in accounting and auditing or who are already employed as an auditor. Students completing the programme will have the opportunity to satisfy formal education requirements to be a licensed auditor in either the Netherlands or the United States (Florida). Furthermore, completion of the programme provides a unique opportunity to take advantage of a European auditor qualification (or passport) if such a programme becomes available in the future.
The programme is specifically designed for students who do not wish to attend a full-time residential programme but would like to obtain a world-class education in accounting and auditing. The programme consists of six modules, each of which is 2 weeks in duration, with approximately 3 months between modules. Classes will alternate between the Netherlands and Florida, and the entire programme will last between 18 and 24 months.
This design allows students to retain their existing jobs and to reside where it is most convenient. Distance learning and internet resources will be utilized during the time period when students are not gathered together to keep them connected to each other and the faculty.
The first cohort is expected to start in September 2012. Incoming students are expected to have a basic educational background in accounting and auditing.
If you consider yourself to have ‘high potential’ and are interested in an international career path in auditing, please visit IEMA website for more information at www.iema-edu.org, or contact Ms Sacha Bruinen at s.bruinen@maastrichtuniversity.nl. |
