Testimonials
On what she loves about IFMC
Eirisdalys Amalia
“During my time in IFMC, I’ve learnt the importance of the financial aspects in today’s world. I’m not going to sugarcoat it – the workload has been tough, but this has trained me to manage and work under pressure. What I love about the course is the integration of financing, accounting, and management. I appreciate the undivided attention and effort given to me and my fellow classmates by the lecturers. To add, I really enjoy the multicultural environment that I am surrounded by since it has allowed me to gain knowledge on different cultural backgrounds.”
On why she chose IFMC
Anna Fridrichová
“I chose International Financial Management and Control (IFMC) because of the specialisations of the program. Being a "numbers person", I greatly enjoy finance-related subjects and those including calculations. However, IFMC is much more than that. You will learn how to interpret and communicate your findings. Moreover, you can always join extracurricular activities, such as the PR team, to be more engaged creatively and further develop your soft skills.”
On starting his own business
Kevin Ng
“I had to give up my dream of becoming a health care professional due to back problems, but I still wanted to work in the medical field. I had the idea of starting my own medical business. IFMC seemed like the right programme, although it was going to be tough: I hadn’t touched a book about economics in years! The programme is indeed challenging, but the teachers are very experienced at transferring their knowledge. I feel very prepared for the future!”
On creativity and networking
Katrin Petrova
“What I like most about this programme, is that I can combine my interest in economics with my own creativity. Finding solutions to complex questions, analysing problems and thinking outside the box is something I’ve applied during my favourite course so far: external reporting. I also like the great opportunities for networking during extracurricular activities. As a board member of the student association, Enactus, I get to meet interesting people in high places.”
