A production company wants to invest in new machinery. What is the best option? An airline company is looking to form a strategic alliance. Is this a valid long-term strategy? A beer brewery needs a new information system in order to implement a new strategy. What requirements must be met? Companies have an ongoing need to assess their (financial) situation whenever necessary. International Finance and Control graduates know how to develop and manage financial procedures and systems, and they are the financial centre of companies.
The International Finance and Control (IFC) study programme* prepares students for middle and higher managerial positions in both the private (profit and non-profit) and public sectors in the area of finance and control. Thanks to new legislation and the fact that organisations are increasingly recognising the need for sound risk management, the importance of financial (management) functions has increased markedly in recent years.
During their study, students gain knowledge, skills and insight that enable them to independently analyse financial data and give advice about in-company decisions in the field of international finance and control. The IFC programme profile is derived from the vocational profile. Students follow classes in Finance, Accounting, Control, Management and Business Processes. They learn, for example, how organisations function and which (financial) processes are applied during changes such as reorganisation. Throughout the study, knowledge is put into practice through various team projects and assignments.
Students who successfully complete the International Finance and Control programme will obtain a Bachelor degree in Economics.
* This study programme is registered under the Dutch name 'Bedrijfseconomie'.
