AGS offers an internationally-infused learning and teaching environment to provide our students with the knowledge, skills and tools required to achieve successful and satisfying careers as consultants, managers or professionals specialised in accounting and governance practices for international business and for sustainability.
AGS develops throught two curricula:

Both of them provide students with a comprehensive knowledge of international accounting, management control, risk management, corporate governance and accountability.
Accounting for International Business (AIB) provides students with competencies (knowledge, skills and tools) in accounting, auditing, corporate governance, and business and tax law that are necessary to manage the administration and accountancy aspects of international organizations
Accounting and Governance for Sustainability (AG4S) provides students with the competencies (in terms of strategic management, governance, accounting and control knowledge, skills and tools) necessary to envisage, design and implement innovative solutions for governing sustainability related issues in the daily management of organizations.
