Career prospects
Banking graduates are in short supply so demand is high in the employment market. The financial institutions sector is growing rapidly, especially in Europe, so job opportunities in the Netherlands, Germany and many other countries are numerous. Links with a network of international companies are already strong. Companies such as Fortis, ABP Pension Fund and Alex Beleggersbank sponsor professorships in the department.
Graduates have found positions in:
- investment banking – advising companies how to manage their finances
- management of share issues and bond issues
- research departments of banks – using quantitative techniques
- risk management – involved in granting loans to larger companies and hedge funds
