Supervision
The Professorship for Business Administration, esp. Accounting, Auditing & Corporate Governance supervises qualified students in the doctoral track on research topics in the fields of (Sustainable) Accounting, Auditing, Tax and Corporate Governance. In this context, it is also possible to promote young researchers while working, whereby cooperation projects with corporate practice (e.g. auditing and consulting firms) with appropriate release regulations are preferred. The professorship has a wide range of strategic cooperations with auditing and consulting firms in northern Germany, which ensure excellent career prospects after successful completion of the promotion.
