International Financial Management and Control - English - 3 years - Full-time
The IFMC programme will give you the skills you need to improve your world – and be financially independent. You’ll be ready to deal with business and management decisions from both entrepreneurial and socially responsible perspectives.
Because your world is constantly shifting, you’ll learn how to adopt change. By continuously experimenting with new insights, perspectives, knowledge and competences. This is how you can make a change. We call it business + impact. This empowers you as a ‘manager of change’ in your field of expertise, from a small and medium-sized enterprise, to a government institution or multinational.
At work
Is there anything I cannot be after I graduate?
We already know that our graduates make their mark in the professional world. It goes without saying that we make a huge impact in the day-to-day financial running of an organisation - from interpreting numbers and giving sound advice to management, to helping with process improvement and building dashboards. But we also play a big part on the social side - working with colleagues from all backgrounds and boosting team performance.

Continue studying
We offer courses in accounting, but you’ll need a master in accounting after your bachelor to become a certified accountant. There are several options at other universities, both in and outside the Netherlands. IFMC gives you the chance to take a pre-master’s programme. On completion, you can take the Master’s in Accounting, Auditing and Control at Rotterdam’s Erasmus School of Economics (ESE). Twenty per cent of our graduates have taken us up on the offer and successfully completed the pre-masters and master’s programme. The qualification has opened doors at big firms like Danone and Microsoft.
