Consulting at Student Impact

We work in focussed teams of dedi­cated students, who imple­ment toge­ther a customer project.

Use your talents today and expand your horizon by consul­ting sustain­able busi­ness ideas.

As a consul­tant at Student Impact, you are part of a project team (5-7 people) and work on a project for a start-up or SME for one semester (14 weeks). On average, your commit­ment amounts to 16 to 20 hours per week to Student Impact, however, the work load per week may vary.

Throughout the project, you will be supported indi­vi­dually by your team, your project manager and the coaches, enab­ling you to apply your acquired know­ledge from your studies in an optimal way and to further your personal deve­lop­ment. In addi­tion to your project team, you also belong to the entire Student Impact team: Here you will be offered a broad and personal trai­ning, as well as lots of fun with the team events.
