Research Project 2026-2027

Do you want to join 17 others on a trip to the other side of the world in the summer of 2027? Do you want to work on a real-life consultancy case? Do you want to be trained by Bain & Company, BCG, Deloitte and many more? Are you ready to gain international experience?

In November, a team of 12 motivated students will be selected to participate on a journey to South America, where they will work on a consultancy case for a multinational client (together with 6 committee members). These students will get an insight into the exciting world of international strategy consulting in a developing economy. Additionally, they will get the chance to get in contact with leading (consulting) companies, build their resume, and develop themselves on a personal and professional level.

Throughout the project, participants will receive multiple trainings from leading companies, such as Deloitte, BCG and Bain & Company. Additionally, there will be many social activities!

Course of the Research Project

The preparation period (December – June) takes approximately 12 to 16 hours per week. During this intense period the team will acquire its own projects by contacting multinational companies. This gives them the opportunity to expand their network and design their own projects. When all of the projects are acquired, the desk research can start where research will be performed prior to the field research.

In July the team travels to South America to perform full-time field research for 5 weeks, this means that you will spend part of summer 2027 on the other side of the world within a close group of 18 people. Finally, when the team has arrived back in Amsterdam, they will provide their final deliverables and also present the outcomes of the research to the client. Here you can showcase your work and get valuable feedback from professionals.

Who are we looking for?
