Student Profile

Alejandro Dominguez

The Master in European and International Tax Law offers an excellent environment to learn about the Luxembourg tax system and the influence of European and international tax law. Taught mainly by Luxembourg tax professionals, classes provided the right conceptual framework, tools and materials for my professional development. One of the reasons why I chose the programme was the fact that it was bilingual. Consequently, my French skills greatly improved during the Master, which was crucial for developing my career in Luxembourg. The practical approach of the programme makes a real difference in the job market and this degree definitely offers graduates a significant advantage at the starting point of their careers in Luxembourg.
