Finance & Control - International Finance & Control Fontys University of Applied Science

The rapid changes in the business environment - including globalisation and digitisation - challenges managers of national and international companies. Every day, they need to make the right decisions to secure their company's long-term existence. Which strategies, products and business models are suitable for a company to stand out from the competition? How can risks and opportunities be assessed and consequently be responded to proactively? How can the existing resources in a company be used to reach the company's value, risk and sustainable objectives?

Our study programme International Finance & Control will prepare you for these and other challenges of management and controlling. You will acquire business management knowledge in the core areas of controlling, financing, accounting, risk management and strategic management. You will also gain knowledge that will prepare you to work as a general manager, in areas like marketing and human resources. Soft skills like problem-solving, communication or team management will also be taught as well as foreign languages.
