Testimonials

Vlerick gives us the opportunity to experiment through different marketing areas, industries and segments. Vlerick is the reason I first came (and got to know) Belgium, resulting in my current position as a Jr. Brand Manager at Edgard & Cooper, company that I also only got to know through one of Vlerick’s career fairs. So, I can easily say that Vlerick made my career international! José Vitor Correa - AY 2019-20 – Marketing & Digital Transformation - studied Communications - Brand Developer at Edgard & Cooper José Vitor Corrêa | LinkedIn

When I started the MFM program at Vlerick, I thought I wanted to go in trading or work for one of the big banks. However, during the program, I learned more about corporate finance, the current evolution in banking regulation, entrepreneurial finance, etc. This changed my view on what I wanted to do in my professional career and I decided to join a scale up in the fintech lender sector.

During the year at Vlerick, I gained in-depth knowledge, practical experience, confidence, built a lot of connections and learned so much about business, finance and myself as well. I grew tremendously in terms of professional and personal development. I chose to apply for the Women in Finance Scholarship, because I truly believe in promoting and supporting women in finance leadership roles, which are still greatly dominated by men.

Vlerick helped me decide to change my career path. I chose Vlerick because I wanted to broaden my knowledge outside of engineering and learn more about business management. I learned so much, from corporate finance to decision sciences, and from strategy to big data and analytics. Now that I am back at work, I really see the difference. Because I have a more holistic view of business as a whole, I can jump in during a conversation with the C-suite. I can speak their language and understand their points of view.

Before coming at Vlerick, she studied Business Administration and spent a semester in Peru. Back there, she discovered the concepts of social entrepreneurship and social innovations.
In the pursue of this interest, she worked in social start-ups in Berlin (sustainable e-commerce) and Brussels (food waste management) and traveled to India to participate in a social entrepreneurship journey and competition.
I would never have been able to secure my present job if I hadn’t done that. Experience counts very much.
