Managerial professions

Between strategy, consulting and decision-making

As managers, you make strategic decisions and provide innovative solutions to business problems.

Constantly in contact with the company's core business, you master the methods and tools of the various management disciplines: finance, marketing, human resources, strategy, organization, operations management, management IT, business law...

You don't hesitate to put your multilingual communication to good use on the international stage or with the various teams with whom you manage projects.

You put your socially responsible managerial practices into action and ensure that the social, environmental and economic concerns of your activities are respected.

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, assessing credit, advising investors;
  • Customer advice in a credit organization;
  • Internal audit: verifying internal procedures for good governance and the generation of reliable financial statements;
  • External audit: 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.

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.

Consultancy 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.

Research and teaching

Some graduates pursue research activities 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: dissemination of job and internship offers, orientation interviews, workshops on themes linked to professional integration, information and documentation on the world of work.
