Modul 2 befasst sich über Modul 1 hinaus ebenfalls mit dem nationalen und internationalen Steuerrecht in den vier deutschsprachigen Ländern Liechtenstein, Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz. Im Fokus steht insbesondere die Besteuerung juristischer Personen auf der Basis des geltenden Steuerrechts unter Berücksichtigung allfälliger Steuerreformen. Die jeweils gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden anhand konkreter Fallbeispiele vertieft. In grenzüberschreitenden Fallstudien erfolgt zudem die Auseinandersetzung mit den Themen der Abgrenzung und Bestimmung nationaler Besteuerungsansprüche, der persönlichen Ertrags- und Kapitalzuordnung und der Lösung grenzüberschreitender Doppelbesteuerungsprobleme durch unilaterale Massnahmen sowie unter Einbeziehung aktueller Entscheidungen der Rechtsprechung.

Extracurriculare Activities comprise of various activities that are not linked to the Curriculum of the MSc in Banking and Financial Management, which are optional and further support the studying of the Master programme.

This optional module allows for various kinds of research studies. It is closely connected to the five units of the Liechtenstein School of Architecture and is usually part of ongoing research projects. The supervision consists of directing the students towards clear results within a given field of research. The individual study is reviewed within the respective unit.

Craft & Structure Unit:
Seven different projects have been developed over the last semester to determine and showcase various possibilities for the vast, unused space under the Cafeteria Building. With these fresh ideas in mind, this Independent Study is a continuation of these proposals. The main goal can be described as the further constructional and spatial development of one combined project. In detail, the focus will thus be on the creation of detailed plans, with specific material choices as well as the planning of the implementation phase, that will most certainly happen in the Summer Semester of 2026.
Furthermore, the use of local and sustainable material is shaping the possibilities for the project. This also requires research work with the
locally available construction material as well as opening up possible collaboration with local stakeholders such as “Zirkulie”. The construction should furthermore also be demountable and circular to allow a certain flexibility with this space. For instance, a winter and summer semester set up could open up a more adapted variation.
To test ideas, the building of mockups will be part of the workload. The course will consist of regular table talks with presentations as well
as an end critic with individual work that will all come together in one implementation project.

Self-defined design or research studies, developed individually or in groups agreed upon with research units and under the guidance of mentors. The size of the module is determined by the respective unit.

Urban Design & Spatial Development Unit:
What elements make up a neighbourhood that allows people to live without a car? Is it public transport and bike lanes, cafés and bars, shops and pharmacies or parks? How much of each and at what distance? In this independent study, you will measure the vitality of village centres in Liechtenstein, discuss what constitutes a car-free neighbourhood worth living in and how these centres can be improved.
The study is part of the research project 'Vitality analysis in the Rhine Valley - The x-minute city in the context of low to medium settlement density', which is being conducted by Dr Luis Hilti and Prof Michael Wagner from 2023 to 2026.

Urban Design & Spatial Development Unit:
Sustainable building is on everyone's lips. But most approaches are aimed at short-term measures such as the installation of insulation panels or the outlawing of concrete. In order to create long-term sustainable living in high-quality buildings, however, far more differentiated and comprehensive considerations are required.
In his book ‹Gegen Wegwerfarchitektur› (Verlag Klaus Wagenbach, 2023) Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani outlines a brief history of urban design and architectural consumerism and builds his reflections on a culture of substantial sustainability on this basis. He writes against the extinction of nature through urban sprawl and argues in favour of a strategy of density: only the compact city can be ecological. In order to reduce the immense material and energy consumption of the construction industry, he calls for a rigorous turnaround: turning away from the development of further building land and the unrestrained consumption of raw materials. Not demolish and then build again, but rather convert, restore and further develop.
The longer a building lives, the more ecological it is. In this Independent Study, we first read Lampugnani's book and then research the relevant data and figures on the current situation in Liechtenstein. What is the current state of affairs in the country in relation to the issues Lampugnani addresses?
