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.

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 with the client, and we conclude with concrete results, recommendations and/or implementation.

A consultancy firm advises organisations on strategic, operational or organisational issues. We help companies analyse challenges, develop solutions and implement improvements that lead to measurable results.

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

Consultancy means that a consultant supports organisations with expert advice and practical improvements. This can concern strategy, processes or specific challenges within a company or institution.

As a student consultant, you receive a fee of between €14.50 and €22.35 per hour, depending on your study progress and experience. Besides this financial reward, consultancy also gives you valuable practical experience, a professional network and personal development.

Student Consultant takes a flexible approach for its student consultants. You do not need to be available 40 hours a week. We work with an average of 20 hours a week. You can often decide for yourself exactly when you work.

To start as a student consultant, you need to be proficient in Dutch and available 20 hours a week. You also need to have obtained at least 60 ECTS at university level, or have started your pre-master's programme.

Where you work as a student consultant can vary. In general there are three options: at one of our offices in Tilburg, Amsterdam or Nijmegen, at the client's office, or comfortably at home, at university or in a café.

As a student consultant, you do not work on an internship assignment. You take part in real consultancy projects at leading companies in the Netherlands. That means you make an impact from day one and gain work experience that immediately strengthens your CV. But how does such a project actually work?

Many students wonder: what kind of assignments can I actually expect when I work as a student consultant? The answer: very varied ones. At Student Consultant, you always work on real consultancy projects at organisations across a wide range of industries. That means you contribute to concrete solutions and add value from day one. Projects are often assigned based on your academic background and knowledge.

Consultancy is not only about helping companies with processes, strategy and data. At Student Consultant, we believe our knowledge and fresh perspective can also be used to make a social impact, not just for our clients but for society as a whole. With our initiative Student Consultant For Good, we organise social initiatives in which our student consultants devote their time and energy to worthwhile social causes.

Student Consultant For Good is an initiative to invest students' time and energy in social initiatives. Instead of regular consultancy projects, For Good focuses on projects that bring about positive change in society.

At Student Consultant, we believe consultancy makes an impact not only in companies but also in society. For every For Good activity, we make it easy for you to take part. You can sign up easily via a clear call to action, such as a registration link or a contact person within your hub.

For Good activities are set up so that they can always be combined with your work as a student consultant and your student life. They take place outside intensive project hours. They are often one-off activities, such as a cooking afternoon at Oma’s Soep or a fundraising event, which last only a few hours and are mainly about fun and teamwork.
