The course dates (from June 2013 to June 2014 and from October 2013 to October 2014), the enrollment periods and the 30% scholarship offer are from then. The Wolters Kluwer figures, including more than 20,000 employees and annual revenue of 3,374 million euros, are from 2013.
For anyone thinking about doing a master’s degree who still isn’t quite sure, Wolters Kluwer offers two interesting options. On one hand there’s the International Master’s in Business Law (MIDN), and on the other the International Master’s in Accounting and Auditing (MICA). Both are ideal for Latin American graduates and professionals, and there’s the chance of a scholarship covering 30% of the program. All you have to do is explain why you deserve it.
1. International Master’s in Business Law (MIDN)
Wolters Kluwer Formación and Universidad Francisco de Vitoria are consolidating this well-regarded master’s. The program is aimed at professionals in the field, in-house legal departments, multinationals and law firms in Latin America with an international outlook.
It is delivered in a blended format through an online platform, the Virtual Campus, where students can access the course content at any time of day, do practical exercises, put questions to the teaching staff and get the resources and help they need whenever they need it, with no timetable clashes or travel.
In this way Wolters Kluwer breaks down geographical barriers and scheduling conflicts, making the most of students’ time and allowing a high level of student–teacher interaction and practical, effective learning.
In addition, students will take part in the International Legal Week held in Madrid, visiting leading Spanish and international law firms.
The course content, taught by renowned professionals from Spain’s top law firms, offers a chance to work professionally in an increasingly global market and to take advantage of the opportunities it brings.
Enrollment is open. The program starts on 18 June 2013 and ends on 15 June 2014.

2. International Master’s in Accounting and Auditing (MICA)
Universidad CEU San Pablo and Wolters Kluwer Formación are offering this master’s for graduates or students who need to fill gaps in their knowledge of accounting or auditing at an international level. Specifically, it is designed for graduates such as public accountants, economists, finance graduates, actuaries and professionals in finance and accounting in general.
The advantages of a master’s like this come above all from the regulatory framework for accounting and auditing, which has not escaped globalization: most countries in the world are adopting International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Standards on Auditing (ISA), or adapting their local legislation to those standards. In Latin America in particular, adoption and adaptation have moved at an especially fast pace in recent years.
This master’s will help students gain broad technical and practical knowledge of the new regulatory frameworks quickly, along with the latest techniques in accounting analysis, company valuation and management accounting.
On completing the course, students will have the knowledge and training needed to advance their careers in companies or departments related to auditing and accounting, and to implement and oversee IFRS and IFRS for SMEs in Latin American and European companies.
The master’s uses an e-learning methodology through an online platform, the virtual campus, where, as with the previous program, students can access the course content at any time of day, do practical exercises, put questions to the teaching staff and get the resources and help they need whenever they need it.
Registration is open. The master’s starts in October 2013 and ends in October 2014. To sign up or request more information, use the following link: International Master’s in Accounting and Auditing.
