Field of activity for graduates in International Financial Management:

Our training is a stepping stone into the world of finance. Our graduates are in high demand on the job market and can confidently develop in the direction of their desire. Positions range from CFO to Head of Accounting, Head of Finance, Financial Manager, Business Analyst, Treasurer, Auditor or Consultant. Some graduates use the knowledge they have acquired and go in other directions, take over a company's management as CEO or found their own start-up. Due to our location in the heart of Switzerland, many graduates are drawn to the finance or pharmaceutical industries and large consulting firms.

After graduating, many of our former students from abroad stay in Switzerland to work for an international company, while others return to their country of origin or seek a new challenge in yet another country.
