MIBEM career outlook

Jeroen Baes - Project Engineer at Caterpillar

(Master of Industrial Sciences - MIBEM)

Thanks to the MIBEM programme I learned to look at companies from a different perspective, whereas previously, the focus was more on the technical character of the business world. The company's technical and financial aspects go hand in hand and should not be seen as two separate element. Financial decisions have an impact on technical realisations and vice versa. This programme certainly reinforced my engineering degree and it was also a personal enrichment.

Christian Mwizerwa - Young potential at Logica

(Bachelof of Science in IT - MIBEM)

I recently joined Logica as a Young Potential for the Thaler programme. Thaler is an integrated software package covering all banking activities, from internal management processes to day-to-day operations. The programme targeted young graduates with an economic or IT background and the MIBEM programme, especially the Finance related courses, provided me with vital economic knowledge and management skills that were considered during the whole recruitment process. I think the MIBEM opens the door to plenty of career opportunities, especially for young potentials.

Thomas Scheir - Legal translator at the European Court of Justice

(Master of Law - MIBEM)

I started working at the European Court of Justice in Luxemburg as a legal translator. Eventhough the link with economics and management is less obvious, I still benefit from what I have learned in the MIBEM programme. Besides the vast and thorough economic background, I can use the experience of studying in a truly enriching international context. In fact, the great cultural diversity of MIBEM students and the classes being completely taught in English makes the programme an excellent preparation for a career at the European institutions.

Ewald Van Haver - Junior project manager at Belgacom

(Master of Industrial Science - MIBEM)

I am responsible for two projects in the customer care department of Belgacom. It is part of an 18 month management trainee track but with an open eded contract. I have to choose a new job every six months. The MIBEM programme helped me to widen my view on the business world. I was taught useful concepts on how to tackle business- and economics-related subjects which are daily practice in my job now.
