TIAS Premaster

What can a premaster do for you?

The premaster gives you the best possible preparation for an Executive Master at TIAS.

The premaster is intended to ensure that Executive Master participants are on equal footing in terms of basic academic knowledge and skills at the start of the program. This lays the foundation for successful completion of the Executive Master, and ensures you’ll get the most out of the content modules.

The premaster consists of three different modules:

• Accounting and Finance: this module covers basic academic and analytical knowledge of accounting (external financial reporting) and finance (corporate finance).
• Quantitative Methods: this module provides basic skills in statistics.
• Academic Reading and Writing: this module focuses on looking up, reading, evaluating and editing scientific literature.

• Business Research and Reports: in this module, you’ll learn which topics, methods and techniques are suitable for a particular research project, and how to write it all up in a research proposal. This module is only available to participants in the part-time English-language Master of Business Administration.
