Economists' professions

Between strategy, consulting and decision-making

As economists, you approach the complex realities of companies, institutions and society with nuance, and propose economic models adapted to their new organizational modes.

You cooperate with specialists from other disciplines and master multilingual communication and the international dimension of your projects.

Sensitive to the human and ethical dimensions of economic and social issues, you measure the interdependencies between the decisions of multiple players and develop opportunities for cooperation.

Some examples of professions

As recent graduates, you are often inserted into the management of a project. Working alone or as part of a team, you provide analyses or propose actions to achieve a given objective, within a set timeframe, with available resources or whose mobilization you organize. Your excellent analytical skills, your sense of communication, your knowledge of foreign languages, your international outlook and above all your desire to learn are
also important assets for many professions.

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 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.

Socio-economic analysis and political decision-making

In public administrations, in the non-profit world, in mutual societies or political parties, in trade union organizations, development aid agencies or business federations, etc., economics graduates observe and analyze the socio-economic situation. By issuing opinions and advice, they participate in the implementation and operation of policies and legislation.

Research and teaching

Some graduates pursue a research activity in Belgium or abroad. They complete a doctorate or take part in a research program. Several alumni pass on their knowledge in secondary, higher and continuing education.

Job search assistance

The Employment Unit supports final-year Master's students and recent graduates in their career paths, via a number of services: distribution of job and internship offers, orientation interviews, workshops on themes linked to professional integration, information and documentation on the world of work.
