Career prospects
Representatives from companies like Beiersdorf and Medtronic will be actively involved in your master’s programme. You can expect them to help you with case studies, company projects and so on – some students even go on to do internships via connections they’ve made with people working in the field.
After graduating in Controlling, you can take either a Dutch post-graduate programme or an international post-graduate programme that both focus on qualifying you to become a Chartered Controller. You can obtain this qualification by attending a part-time programme whilst working in the field.
Graduates have found positions in:
- controlling departments, as controllers, finance managers and eventually finance directors (CFOs) in multinationals such as Beiersdorf, Philips, Unilever, and Shell
- general management in any major firm – decisions makers such as CEOs and CFOs often have a background in controlling
- consulting firms
- in-house consulting departments within companies
