| Toelichting | In brief You have a strong financial background and are familiar with the business world. But you want to go a step further. Enrich your knowledge and give well-founded management advice with self-confidence. The Master in Accounting and Control (MAAC) programme at The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THU) offers you the opportunity to do this. It is a professional master's degree for ambitious students with a nose for financial, economic and organisational growth. Through a programme based on a strong international awareness, you will be trained for a top international financial position.
Broad and international With the MAAC programme, you learn everything that a modern Financial Manager needs to know. Besides management accounting, financial management and information management, subjects such as professional ethics, risk management and people management are also included in the programme. It is a broad curriculum, tested in practice and optimally geared towards an international career. The language of instruction is English and your fellow students are multicultural. Thanks to this versatility, you learn to hold your own in a challenging work environment.
More than numbers The MAAC programme expands the world of earnings, expenditures, loans and investments. Your area of work transcends the financial aspects. Checking, budgeting, analysing and advising come naturally to you. You understand perfectly how business processes work and you are able to translate your knowledge of the market, economy and organisation into a well-founded business strategy. In short, you are the conscience of the company, on whom the management blindly relies. With a MAAC degree, you can develop your career to become the Financial Director of an international company. You can follow this Master's programme on a full-time or part-time basis.
Why choose this programme? Learning to look critically at business processes and results from different perspectives. That is central to the MAAC programme. You enrich your financial basis with knowledge and skills that are essential for a modern Financial Controller. The comprehensive curriculum is focused on the four PIOF areas: personnel, information, organisation and finances. Equipped with this all-round knowledge, you step into the employment market with boldness and self-confidence. In this way, you get the best out of yourself and for the company.
Focused on the future There is a great need for Financial Controllers who have undergone a broad-based and international training. Especially these days where companies must continually innovate and work on tighter budgets due to the increasing competition. With this, the MAAC programme fills a gap in the market. It prepares you for an international career. You learn to comfortably do business with foreign groups, in various languages and with people from other cultures.
Personal growth At the Academy for Master's & Professional Courses of The Hague University, the focus lies on you as a financial expert. You work on developing personal skills in the area of leadership, communication, teamwork and entrepreneurship. How do you manage an international team? Can we rely on the figures? Can we do business with this customer? These are the questions at stake. You discover where your strengths lies as well as your points of improvement. In this way, you grow not only in your position, but also as an individual.
Degree and recognition MAAC is a professional master's degree and not a University Master of Science degree. After completion, you will receive a MAAC master's degree which has been accredited in 2006 by the Dutch-Flemish Accreditation Organisation (NVAO). The MAAC programme is registered in the CROHO (Dutch Central Register of Higher Education). In order to ensure quality, the programme has been subjected to a strict quality test. You are assured a superior level of high-quality education. At the end of 2011, the MAAC programme is once again subject to the accreditation test.
Internationally recognised The MAAC degree is recognised internationally. If you aspire to a job outside the Netherlands, you can get your degree legalised by the DUO (Education Department) of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. Then you can prove worldwide that the document has been issued by a competent authority. For more information and the costs, please visit the website of DUO.
Further studies The MAAC programme is not part of a continuous course of study. Despite this, you can study further, for example, to obtain your accountant's degree. The English (online) programme ACCA [link] is a valuable option for internationally oriented students. An ACCA graduate bears the title of 'Certified Chartered Accountant'. The MAAC degree also provides an excellent basis for the accountant's programme offered by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA)
Costs The costs for the complete MAAC programme amounts to € 16,500 for the academic year 2011-2012. This amount includes the Intranet, lectures and library facilities. And for the first phase of training, this includes books and course materials.
Tax benefit The MAAC programme is exempt from VAT. In addition, your employer can deduct the entire cost from the profit as operating expenses. Even if you pay for the programme yourself, you can enjoy tax benefits. You can enter your training costs as a tax-deductible item on your income tax return. This will help you save up to half the price. For more information, please call the Tax Line: 0800 - 0543. Or download the brochure "Study costs or other educational expenses" issued by the Tax Authorities

Open Day In the meantime, would you like to get to know The Hague University, the lecturers and study programmes? Visit the Open Day. We are prepared to answer all your questions! The MAAC consists of five phases. In the first four phases, you follow different modules and in the fifth phase, you complete your studies with a research report (thesis). Two streams of study run through each phase: management accounting and information management. These form the core of the programme. At the end of each phase, you work individually or in a group on a phase project where you get the chance to apply what you have learnt. You follow two of the modules together with students from the Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme.
