International Financial Management and Control - English - 4 years - Full-time
After the Volkswagen exposé in 2015 and the Panama Papers scandal, it’s safe to say the world needs caring financial professionals. It’s easy to have that ‘lightbulb moment’ idea, but not so easy to implement sustainable cost planning. That’s why the three-year International Financial Management and Control programme trains you how to become the beating heart of any business and improve the world you live in.
Testimonials
On the social aspect
Tom Croes
“In the first semester of the three-year programme, classes are a bit smaller and you have lots of exams. After that, you merge with the second-year students of the four-year programme. I really liked this transition: it was fun getting to know more people from different backgrounds and we all got along great. I made some really good friends here. Students and teachers socialise after exams and at the end of the year there’s an awesome closing party.”
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 practical, small scale education
Corbin van Noort
“What I like about this programme and about applied sciences in general, is that it’s so practical. In the corporate finance project for instance, you practice taking over and buying companies. You really have to deal with the finances and the feasibilities. I imagine this is what I will be doing all the time in my future job. Also, the fact that classes are smaller here at THUAS suits me. I feel free to ask all my questions and teachers are very willing to help.”
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.”
