Your future

Representatives from companies like Henkel AG, Bayer AG, DSM, Medtronic and a number of smaller yet equally fascinating firms are actively involved in the Managerial Decision-Making and Control 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 because of connections they’ve made with people working in the field.

Certification and further education

After graduation, you can enter the work force directly, but you will probably also want to be certified as a Chartered Controller, either in the Netherlands or internationally, at the School of Business and Economics or at another prestigious institution abroad. At the post-graduate stage, links with the corporate world are stronger still. The post-graduate programmes listed below are a vital part of company management and executive development.
