Abstract [en]

How do accounting- and audit firms in Västerås value the new Master of Science in Business Administration and Economics, in comparison to a traditional Swedish master´s degree together with a diploma from Civilekonomerna? Does the result of this survey indicate that Mälardalen University should hand in a new application to the National Agency for Higher Education, regarding the new Master of Science in Business Administration and Economics?

The purpose of this empirical study is to investigate the importance of the new Master of Science in Business Administration and Economics, while applying for a job at an accounting- and audit firm in Västerås. Is this new degree, in comparison to a traditional master’s degree, of a greater value to the companies?

The survey took place in Västerås, where semi constructed interviews were held with respondents from three different accounting- and audit firms. The three interviewees where each involved in their company’s recruitment process. To make the survey more multifaceted, interviews with three other persons, with great knowledge in the area, were made.

In the current situation, the employers in the chosen business do not put greater value in the new Master of Science in Business Administration and Economics than in the traditional Swedish master’s degree. It does not matter whether their opinions are built on ignorance, or facts about the two different degrees. In either case, we can make the conclusion that it does not have to be in Mälardalen University’s greatest interest to deposit a new application to the National Agency for Higher Education.

Abstract [sv]

Hur värderar redovisnings- och revisionsbyråer i Västerås den nya civilekonomexamen i förhållande till en traditionell magisterexamen i ekonomi tillsammans med Civilekonomernas diplom? Visar den utförda undersökningen att det skulle gynna Mälardalens Högskola att på nytt ansöka om examensrätt?

Syftet med denna empiriska studie är att utreda vad redovisnings- och revisionsbranschen i Västerås anser om den nya civilekonomexamen i förhållande till en traditionell magisterexamen i ekonomi tillsammans med det diplom Civilekonomerna ger ut.

Undersökningen tog plats i Västerås, där semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med respondenter från tre olika redovisnings- och revisionsbolag. De utvalda var insatta i respektive företags rekryteringsprocess. För att skänka uppsatsen fler infallsvinklar kring problemområdet, intervjuades ytterligare tre sakkunniga personer från; Civilekonomerna, Uppsala Universitet och Mälardalens Högskola.

Vi kan i dagsläget se att arbetsgivarna inom den valda branschen inte värderar den nya civilekonomexamen högre än en magisterexamen i ekonomi tillsammans med Civilekonomernas diplom. Det spelar ingen roll om detta beror på okunskap eller baseras på fakta om de två olika examina, i vilket fall som helst kan slutsatsen dras att det inte behöver ligga i Mälardalens Högskolas största intresse att ansöka om examensrätt på nytt.
