Our latest "Finance" stories

At IUM, we believe that the most profound lessons aren’t just found in textbooks, they are lived. Our Experiential Learning format is designed to transform students into industry-ready professionals by immersing them in the heart of global business hubs. By moving beyond traditional lectures, we provide our students with the tools to navigate complex markets, understand corporate cultures, and build high-level networks before they even graduate.
A perfect example of this philosophy in action was the recent MSc Finance Study Trip to Luxembourg in March 2026.

The journey from the classroom to a major corporate and investment bank is paved with networking, technical precision, and a strong work ethic. For our Msc in Finance alumnus Max Swinckels, this path led to a new role at Société Générale Corporate and Investment Banking (SGCIB) in Amsterdam.

Recently appointed as a Junior Middle Officer, Max is now responsible for managing a wide range of banking requests for corporate clients. From Cash Management to the sales of credit solutions, his role is at the center of client service and operational efficiency.

In the world of high finance, theory is only as valuable as its execution. This month, the IUM Finance Society proved that IUM students aren’t just observing the markets, they are leading them. We are proud to announce that our team has secured 1st place at the EuroPitch European University Trading Competition, finishing at the top of the leaderboard with a commanding score of 82 points.

During IUM Career Week, students had the opportunity to attend an insightful finance session led by Filippo Cavalli, partner at Quadrivio Group. The talk offered a deep dive into the world of private equity, with a particular focus on the lifestyle sector, an area where Quadrivio has developed a highly specialized and distinctive investment strategy.
