1. FACTS AND TRENDS

IE Business School’s Master in Finance students secured positions in the leading financial services and consulting firms on a global level, as reflected in this 2017 Career Report.

This is the result of our students being well-equipped with the necessary skills and know-how to successfully carry out finance roles with maximum effectiveness, efficiency and professionalism, as well as the ability to apply finance functions to create corporate and social value.

The Master in Finance’s unique program characteristics, such as a design that limits time away from the workplace while providing a well-rounded approach to the financial world, and a focus on niche areas such as FinTech, Islamic Finance or Microfinance, have resulted in more than 91% of our students securing employment within 3 months of graduation. Out of this percentage, a substantial number of students accepted jobs in Financial Services (80%), Consulting (18%) and other industries (2%).

These excellent figures are achieved as we go beyond academic excellence to include global networking, appealing final e xam o ptions and t he use of an eminently practical approach, combined with an innovative learning methodology.

With regards to regions, the Master in Finance graduates are based mostly in Europe (91%), with the rest being distributed between Asia (4%) and North America (5%).

These recent graduates joined the community of more than 60,000 IE alumni who are based in more than 167 countries, both in public and private sectors and all types of industries, with the aim of creating value for their communities.

These outstanding placement figures were also achieved as we are closely aligned to professional practice, given that more than 90% of our world-class faculty are practitioners working in top finance positions.
