Who will you bring in for your next project?

Interns and student employees are affordable but need a lot of supervision. Traditional consultancy firms deliver quality but are expensive. Student consultants combine the best of both.

“We very much enjoy working with Student Consultant. They come up with good ideas from different perspectives, know the latest academic insights and techniques, and help the organisation with its day-to-day work.”

Gerrit Huisman Head of Marketing & Communication at Allinq

“I have been involved in many projects during my career, but Student Consultant stands out for an excellent combination of preparation, execution and flexibility. They ask the right questions, switch quickly and deliver quality. A collaboration I wholeheartedly recommend.”

Wim Kieftenbeld Business Development Lead at GD Group

“We experienced the collaboration with Student Consultant as very pleasant and professional. Communication was smooth and expectations were met throughout the project. The market research not only confirmed what we already thought, but also provided new insights that help us make better-founded choices. A valuable collaboration and a report we can really build on.”

Remko Beijers Commercial manager at Scab Accountants & Adviseurs

“Across several projects, Student Consultant has shown that they bring more than capacity: fresh energy, quick switching, the ability to learn and pragmatic execution. That makes them a reliable partner for getting things done.”

Richard Moret Openbaar Ministerie (Public Prosecution Service)

Two ways of working together

Responding flexibly to the needs of your organisation.

Consultancy

We take charge of projects to answer organisations' questions. We draw up a plan of approach and carry out the project independently.

Consultancy as a service

We make the up-to-date academic knowledge of our student consultants available on an as-needed basis. This is how we carry out time-intensive analyses, develop data-driven insights and support projects.

How we work together

From first conversation to concrete results, in four steps.

  1. No-obligation intake

    Together, we get a clear picture of your challenge.

  2. Free proposal within 5 working days

    A tailored proposal with objectives, approach and planning, based on the latest academic insights.

  3. Getting to work together

    We work closely with you. Experienced coaches guide the team behind the scenes, every week.

  4. Concrete results

    We wrap up with concrete results, recommendations and, where desired, implementation.

Frequently asked questions

How does Student Consultant guarantee the quality of its work?

Student consultants are supported behind the scenes by experienced consultants. Weekly coaching sessions keep them on track, without requiring any capacity from clients.

What is the hourly rate of a student consultant?

Our rates are in the brochure, together with examples of projects per service. Download the brochure

What is the difference between consultancy and consultancy as a service?

In a consultancy project, the student consultants work fully independently, from planning to execution. Consultancy as a service offers flexible support on demand, with consultants carrying out specific tasks to free up capacity.

What does working together look like?

We start with a no-obligation intake to get a clear picture of the challenge. We then draw up a proposal setting out objectives, approach and planning. During the project we work closely together, and we conclude with concrete results, recommendations and/or implementation.

Can you also help implement the advice?

Yes, we offer both advisory and implementation support. Our consultants can work within your organisation to guide and implement the change.
