The ifs School of Finance has 19 Professional Networks, 10 in the UK and 9 in international and offshore locations. Our aim is to help a diverse alumni community of over 27,000 finance professionals keep in touch while fulfilling our belief in lifelong learning.

 All alumni members are able to join one of the ifs Professional Networks which provide high-quality educational events across the UK and internationally. Attendance at Professional Network events is often available free to alumni members or at a greatly reduced delegate fee (delegate fees for non alumni range from £15.00- £50.00).

Professional Networks enable you to network with peers located in the same area, to exchange ideas, share best practice and keep up to date with industry developments and issues.

The Networks:

• run high-quality educational and personal development events for all our alumni members
• promote our products, services and values
• provide and facilitate purposeful networking opportunities and business interactions
• enable alumni to continue lifelong learning through ongoing professional development

Networks are run by groups of dedicated volunteers working in the financial services industry, and they drive the activities, events and networking opportunities in their respective areas. They are always pleased to welcome new alumni members to their meetings, or to listen to the views of anyone interested in furthering education within the region.

Nearly all events are open to all, and generally qualify for our CPD programme.

Run similarly to the UK, international and offshore networks are also involved in providing help and support to those undertaking ifs qualifications.
