Location of Arnhem Business School
Finance and Control is a full-time Bachelors course that prepares you for middle or higher management positions in the field of finance. Graduates work in both the private and public sectors. The importance of financial management functions has increased in recent years. This is partly due to new laws but also because organisations are becoming more aware of the need for sound risk management.
Internationally experienced lecturers
The Finance and Control course is run by a small number of lecturers with a wealth of international experience in the corporate world. You will also be supported by study career coaches. As well as helping you settle into your new environment, they help you with both your personal and professional development.
HAN also cooperates with various international organisations. Professionals from these organisations will give some of the lectures in this course.
