International Sustainable Finance & Management

Exchange programme

The exchange programme International Sustainable Finance & Accounting is designed to prepare students for the requirements of the financial and other positions in companies and organisations, according to the latest developments in the business practice.

Practitioners, as well as suppliers of high quality education, like INSEAD, have indicated that companies experience a lack of in-depth finance and accounting knowledge and ability to apply related innovative trends with qualified business students.

Finance on an international level

Next to the professional problem the programme will also focus on the international component as most of businesses are nowadays in one or the other way exposed to the effects of internationalisation and globalisation. In order to deal with this identified professional problem this exchange programme will equip students with in-depth knowledge on topics like international corporate finance, international auditing, advanced management accounting, management control and international accounting and valuation.  

Real-life projects

Further, in the real-life projects, this programme will allow the exploration of innovative business and finance trends and application of knowledge acquired in knowledge modules, and in this way prepare the students for the world of practice.
