Become the next IFP Board!
IFP Board
The International Financial Program offers students the opportunity to develop themselves in the field of sales, research and consultancy. It is possible to apply for a position either as a board member or participant. A board position will cost approximately 24 hours per week, whereas participants spend around 12 hours per week on the project.
A board year gives you the opportunity to develop yourself on a social and professional level, gain valuable contacts, and have the best time of your life!

The IFP board consists of 5 members. Each of these members has its own responsibilities and tasks. You can read a description of the 5 functions below.
