Of course. Only around half of our members have a business or related background. Our members also have backgrounds in diverse fields such as engineering, mathematics, physics, computer science, psychology, and the humanities and social sciences. Interdisciplinarity is very important to us and is appreciated and encouraged accordingly!

As our projects always go through different phases, which take up different amounts of time, this cannot be said in general terms. Nevertheless, it can be assumed that the average is about 10 hours per week for a Consultant, and about 5 hours per week for a Research Analyst.

The selection of applicants is based on the degree of suitability and motivation for working as a Consultant or Research Analyst at 180 Degrees Consulting. Various skills that we consider important for the engagement will be assessed on the basis of your written application and your personal interview. Although we also collect grades in the online application, these do not play a major role in our selection process– they are mainly asked for statistical reasons.

After your first project is finished, your time with us is of course not over! You will have the opportunity to develop your leadership skills as a team manager or a senior student consultant within the framework of another consulting project. In addition, you can also get involved internally in the board to help ensure that our association remains what it already is: amazing!
