In each course, students are able to analyze the assigned reading material through a series of carefully crafted lesson plans, which may be downloaded for student use. Electronic chat rooms and the ability to e-mail faculty and fellow students with course questions and comments on assignments and case studies will be provided as well. All students in each section will commence studies together. Each course is constructed of a discrete number of modules which the student must complete in a specified period of time. Essentially, each student may progress at his or her own speed within predetermined time frames.
Progress is assessed through periodic online examinations.
All classes are conducted in the English language. The program commences in the fall, which begins in August. Students are expected to take two courses per semester for a two-year period, plus complete a master's thesis, in order to receive their LL.M. or M.I.T. degree. The program consists of course work designed to provide a sophisticated back-ground in the general principles of international taxation, and global and offshore tax planning, as well as the opportunity for students to examine in greater depth those areas of international tax practice which are of particular interest. Under the supervision of a full-time faculty member the latter is accomplished through a regimen of independent research and writing, which culminates with the submission of a master's thesis.
