Develop your personal and professional growth: Your journey with AFC
Academics for Companies (AFC) is an organization for and by students founded in 2007. AFC wants to help bridge the gap between the academic and business world. We prepare students for a professional career by focusing on three pillars: Explore, Learn & Apply.
Explore your interests!
Throughout the year, we organize a diverse range of events delving into various topics and industries. During these events, you will gain meaningful insights from our captivating speakers, including young entrepreneurs and experienced field experts. After the event, we provide a networking reception where you can further enrich your experience and meet up with like-minded peers. Our events help you to explore your interests!
Learn soft skills!
Each semester, we organize various workshop tracks that enhance your academic journey. Each track covers a different topic and consists of multiple interactive workshops. Our workshops provide you with expert knowledge and practical learning opportunities to boost your soft skills. Additional networking opportunities are enabled by our receptions after each workshop, and you will also receive a certificate for completing a workshop track. Our workshops help you to learn new skills!
Apply academic knowledge!
Each semester, we organize diverse projects across various industries. Over the course of a 10-week project, you will collaborate within a multidisciplinary team of students to tackle a genuine business case for a company. You will gain valuable hands-on experience and benefit from professional guidance and support provided by partnered consultancy firms. Our projects help you to apply your knowledge in a practical and real-life context!
