Finance & Control (international)

Are you interested in finance, accounting and management? Are you curious how to apply these themes to international organisations? The English-taught bachelor's programme Finance and Control (international) at Avans University of Applied Sciences might be the right fit for you! You will learn to oversee a company's financial picture including effects of cultural differences and environmental issues, and you will be able to bring figures to life with good analysis and research. 

Practical experience 

A financial business professional has different roles, such as financial analyst, financial consultant or financial administrator. From day one, you will take on these different roles of the financial business professional during projects. You need to apply the theory learned directly in order to deliver a successful project. In addition, you will do an internship of 20 weeks in year 2. 

You will show and develop your skills while working in an international organisation on assistant level. In year 4 you will complete a graduation project. During this phase you help an organisation to improve finance and control related issues. With this graduation period of one year you can prove you have achieved all finance and control learning outcomes at final level and that you are ready to work as a financial business professional.

International focus

You will study in English and your lecturers and fellow students come from different parts of the world. But international also means learning about topics like international tax law and accounting rules and working on international projects using real life cases. And, like mentioned, you will gain international work experiences during your study as you will spend up to 1.5 years in or outside the Netherlands for an internship, semester exchange or graduation assignment.

Career opportunities

In an increasingly connected world, the importance of international finance specialists is growing. As an FCI alumnus, you will most likely work as a Financial Controller, Management Accountant, Business Controller or Financial Business Analyst in the finance department of an international organisation.
