"The IBE programme prepared me well to kickstart my career at a Big4 firm."
I am Yana Ulanova and work as a Consultant at EY. EY is the global organization that provides professional services in assurance, tax, consulting, and advisory to the clients. As for me, my clients are Financial Services Organizations (banks and insurance companies). I am a part of the technology consulting team.
I started the IBE program in 2019 and graduated in 2021. In my opinion, IBE prepared me well to kick start career at the Big4 firm. More specifically, learnings gained in courses related to business and financial analysis, entrepreneurship, and research methods are extremely beneficial in my daily work. Additionally, IBE gave me a chance to be a part of the university’s network and it is always wonderful to meet graduates from our university at the office.
If you are an international talent and looking for a place to study, the IBE program is the right choice for the following reasons. First, it gives you an opportunity to connect with Finnish people and possibly build friendships. Second, the program responds to the ongoing trends, which means you will get up to date knowledge. Lastly, the faculty members are wonderful people that care about your wellbeing and support in all ways possible.
