Methodology

The Master in Tax Consulting is developed during the academic year in an essentially practical way. The contents are demonstrated and applied and all the taxes that make up our tax system are analysed in detail.

The objective is to reconcile theoretical knowledge with professional practice, collecting the plurality of issues and casuistry that arise in daily practice, allowing the systematic study of the set of taxes that make up our tax system.

01.

Theoretical-practical sessions

The class sessions combine the theoretical demonstration with the approach, discussion, and resolution of practical cases taken from real experience.

02.

Active participation

Faced with the practical assumptions raised (practical cases, inspection reports, and regularization proposals), students will have to propose a solution they find most appropriate, applying the knowledge acquired in the master.

03.

Access to AEDAF Databases

During the academic period, the students of the Master in Tax Consultancy have the right to access the private part of the website of the Spanish Association of Tax Consultants (AEDAF), in order to be able to consult the different databases.

04.

Tutored Master's Final Project

Throughout the program the student will work on the Master's Final Project. With the support of a tutor, you will develop a professional written opinion that you must present to a panel at the end of the course.

Evaluation

In order to obtain the title it is essential to:

Pass the Master's Final Project.
Attend class (at least 80% of the class sessions).
Pass the continuous assessment (30% will be weighted on the final grade).
Pass the corresponding theory exams, the result of which will weighted at 70% of the final mark: 60% of the theoretical exams grade; 40% of the evaluation grade of the Practicum of Basic Taxation of companies and of Advanced Taxation of companies.

Tools

The On-Campus&Live methodology allows you to follow the program in person and also remotely.

In this modality, two stable subgroups are opened that will coexist throughout the course: one face-to-face and the other with 100% remote students. The remote students (a maximum of 15 places per course) will follow the program in a synchronous way with the face-to-face students. That is, they will share the same school calendar and schedule as the face-to-face students.

Project-oriented learning and the combination of lectures and active methodologies such as case studies, flipped learning, solving real problems, and professional simulations allow the student to connect theory and practice, acquire advanced skills, and achieve learning which is transferable to the job. The face-to-face modality is enriched with elements of online programs (virtual learning environment, multimedia resources, among others) so that the learning experience of the two subgroups is equally satisfactory.

You will have:

Master's or postgraduate work to learn by doing
A personal mentor to monitor your Master's Final Project (TFM) or Postgraduate Final Project (TFP)
Digital resources to achieve transversal skills
Interdisciplinary activities and workshops
Digital resources and audiovisual blocks for online learning
Active methodologies for transferable learning
