During the International Financial Program (IFP), you work on cases for companies throughout the year starting in September. In April and May, the group will visit an emerging country for 5 weeks where you will conduct research for companies in the first 2,5 weeks and get the opportunity to travel in the last 2,5 weeks.
The months prior to the trip are used for acquiring contracts with companies and preparing the research. The group conduct research for companies which want to expand to a new market or want to strengthen their current market position. With the team of researchers, you will visit companies and attend interesting training on consulting and research skills. Furthermore, we will have monthly socials and trips to get to know each other before the trip. This is the perfect opportunity to expand your network while making fun! The workload for participants will be around 2 days a week.
Personal growth
During the project, students can develop their skills in the field of sales, research and consultancy. In all different phases of the project, workshops and training are offered by professionals. For example, during the acquisition phase in which we seek clients, you will improve your sales skills.
Socials
Next to the professional part of IFP, we also care a lot about the social part. Once every two weeks, a social is organised, during which we will enjoy drinks at our favourite pub. IFP is also well-known for its active group, where you will meet a lot of new people and develop close friendships.
Travelling
After the field research phase, you will travel for 2,5 weeks through the chosen country. You will have enough time to explore the culture and nature of the destination.
