Management engineering professions

Analyze, innovate, decide

As managers open to technologies, you rigorously analyze your company or organization's environment to make the best decisions, with a constant drive to innovate.

While mastering the methods and tools of management (finance, marketing, strategy, operations management, etc.), you are forward-looking, ready to lead your staff in bold projects.

Your knowledge of technological processes ensures that you act as an interface between customers, R&D and all other departments within the company.

Your leadership is based on your managerial and technological skills, as well as your communication strengths, which you exercise in several languages: the world is your playground.

The ambitions you develop for your staff, for your company, for society, you approach with impeccable ethics, integrating social, environmental and economic dimensions.

When I had to choose which university I would study at, my choice fell on UNamur. It's a choice I've never regretted: the quality of the teacher-student relationship, a magnificent city in which I now live, the friendliest student life in Belgium... I've invested a lot of time in student organizations, which are a real complement to my university education. In my studies of management engineering, I loved the broad horizon of the training. Personally, I chose the "Information Management" stream, which enabled me to combine technical disciplines with the business world. I was also able to acquire a double Master's degree thanks to the partnership between UNamur and KULeuven. Thanks to the quality of my training, I'm now venturing into a PhD.

Some examples of professions

The labor market appeal of UNamur's master's courses in management engineering is attested to by the fact that almost 90% of students find their first job within 3 months of graduating. A growing number of students are signing their first contract even before completing their studies.

Because of their special training, management engineers are prime candidates for technology industries wishing to have executives capable of understanding the technological dimensions of business and contributing to their development as new product development managers, IT project managers, intellectual property managers, production managers, consultants....

Their excellent analytical skills, their sense of communication, their knowledge of foreign languages, their international outlook and above all their desire to learn are also important assets for many professions in organizational management: financial services, sales, after-sales, research and development, operations and logistics, IT, business analytics, HRM, marketing... and in a whole range of business sectors: banks and financial organizations, auditing and consulting firms, national and international companies, public and private organizations alike, education, research centers, technology companies, hospitals, cultural institutions, etc.

Finance

The financial sector (banking, insurance, administration...) is the leading employer for our graduates. Every company, from family-run SMEs to multinationals, needs reliable financial indicators to draw up realistic budgets and plans. The range of professions open to those with a passion
for numbers is wide:

  • financial analysis: dissecting balance sheets, evaluating credits, advising investors;
  • customer advice in a credit organization;
  • internal auditing: verifying internal procedures for good governance and generating reliable financial statements;
  • external auditing: verification of the quality and accuracy of the financial information provided;
  • risk management: the assessment and modeling of all risks likely to weigh on an organization;
  • fund accounting: daily calculation of the inventory value of several investment funds;
  • etc.

Commerce and distribution

Negotiating, obtaining the best prices, prospecting for new suppliers, monitoring the development of new packaging, optimizing the routing of products to customers... so many missions with responsibilities relating to sales and distribution. Alongside strictly sales-oriented companies such as supermarkets, industries and certain service companies also offer numerous career opportunities in purchasing, marketing and logistics.

Business management

In the industrial world, our graduates take part in all stages of the supply chain : they plan production, arbitrate disputes between salespeople and producers, manage inventories, organize the transportation of goods, etc.

Others exercise their skills in the IT department, for example as part of the implementation of integrated company management software.

Some join the human resources departments and do recruitment, calculate payroll costs, set up skills management tools or a training policy, etc.

After a few years in operational roles, the careers of management academics frequently evolve towards management positions where they participate in the company's strategic decisions.

Sconsulting firms, which specialize in advising companies, place their expertise and technical and human resources at the service of their clients, for example in the field of strategy or the evaluation of internal processes. Many young graduates start their professional careers here.

Finally, entrepreneurship will enable the most daring to build on the solid, multi-disciplinary foundations of their training to set up their own company.

The work of a consultant is organized by projects on which we work in teams. Working in project mode gives you the opportunity to change functions, departments and companies frequently. For example, this year, I worked for a major Belgian bank and a small technology company, among others. I did marketing and financial reporting. I worked with Indian, English, Belgian, French and Dutch people. I was also responsible for a small team. One of the things that makes this job so exciting is the diversity it offers.
