Career opportunities

Financial Engineering and Management

Risk is prevalent in today's world. People skilled in valuing and hedging risks are – and will continue to be – in high demand. Financial engineering graduates enjoy a wide array of career opportunities where they can apply the tools they have learned. Working for an investment bank or an insurance company is one career option, but by no means the only one. Skills necessary to price and manage complex risks are also highly valued by non-financial corporations. For example, all internationally active firms must hedge foreign exchange risk, and firms transforming raw materials have to manage volatile commodity prices. Finally, financial engineering graduates may also pursue other avenues of professional development, including consultancies, software companies and regulatory institutions.

Health Care Technology and Management

This specialization offers students a solid foundation for a management position in large health care organizations. Most graduates will begin their career in positions in which they are expected to optimise health care processes or manage the development and implementation of new technologies in the organization. Some students may choose to focus on process design and organization, as part of which they will use and develop performance measurement systems. This information is used to improve the organizational processes of a hospital, for example. Other graduates will manage the development and implementation of new medical technologies or ICT solutions in health care organizations. Examples of key process tasks include estimating the need for a certain technology in the organization and the impact of the technology on patients, doctors and other individuals involved.

Information Technology and Management

ITM specialization graduates are well-equipped for a career in process management, information analysis and management-related positions in any organization. Many graduates will participate in projects concerning the re-engineering of complex administration, communication and business processes. Their work may result in the determination of IT needs, assessment of IT investments and management of organizational changes that are needed for the full realisation of newly enabled business processes. In time, graduates may attain positions such as chief information officer or principal consultant.

Production and Logistic Management

The PLM specialization provides a solid academic background for a management career in production and logistics. After graduation, our students make careers in a wide range of companies: multinationals, medium-sized manufacturing companies, consultancy and even an own company that has been established. Typical positions include logistics manager or logistics analyst.

The logistics manager's task is to manage the flow of goods and its effects on the organization. This applies both to internal logistics (production, inventory) and external logistics (supply of raw materials and delivery of final products). Logistics analysts focus on the analysis and improvement of the production and logistics processes of their company.

Starting positions of our students include analyst / consultant at the supply chain management department of Procter and Gamble, logistics analyst at Wehkamp, management trainee at Stork, consultant operations management in health care, solutions analyst for UPS Supply Chain Solutions and logistics manager at Burg Industries.
