The Department of Economics and Accounting (DEcA) is a unique concept in Finland combining all the aspects of economics and accounting in both private and public sector. Research is done from the point of view of a solitary firm as well as that of the national economy.

The Department was founded 1.8.2004 as a part of the restructuring of the faculty of Economics and Administration. Though being a very young department DEcA has a strong tradition of research and education since all the disciplines have existed at the University of Tampere for several decades.

DEcA educates students from bachelor level to doctoral level in all it’s disciplines:
•    Accounting and Finance (economic sciences)
•    Economics (economic sciences)    
•    Financial Management and Public Sector Accounting (administrative sciences)
•    Local Public Economics (administrative sciences)

The variety of disciplines enables a large scale interdisciplinary co-operation in both education and research. Examples of such co-operation are among others the master program of Auditing and Evaluation and education and research in the area of Finance.

The Department is also a partner in a joint European master program MGE - European Master in Public Economics and Public Finance (other partners: the University of Rennes I, France and the University of Fribourg, Switzerland).
