The next cohort applications open August 2027.
Who Can Apply
Any current student at a Dutch university, of any year or background. No finance coursework required — Rotterdam members need to be based in or around the city for the year.
Available Positions
Analyst seats across five committees — Asset Management, Private Equity, Venture Capital, Events, and Marketing. Pick one on the form.
Weekly Time Commitment
Roughly 4–6 hours a week during term, more in the run-up to a thesis presentation or a published report deadline.
Selection Process
Three stages, same bar for every committee.
Stage 1 — Application form
The short form below, plus a one-paragraph thesis pitch — the stock, deal, or company you'd cover and why.
Stage 2 — Case screen
A short written case relevant to the committee you applied to, reviewed by that team's lead.
Stage 3 — Interview
A conversation with the committee lead and a board member — mostly a defence of your thesis pitch.
What You're Evaluated On
- The reasoning behind your thesis pitch, not whether the call turns out right
- How you hold up a position when it's pushed on, rather than how polished it sounds going in
- Curiosity and follow-through outside of coursework — what you've read, tried, or built on your own
- Fit with the committee you're applying to, over general finance credentials
Interview dates: there's no fixed interview week — slots are scheduled on a rolling basis after the form closes on September 20, and sent by email once a committee lead has reviewed your application.
Rotterdam vs. Eindhoven
Rotterdam — founding chapter
Taking applications now, through September 20, 2026. This is the form above.
Eindhoven — opening February 2027
Not taking applications for this cohort. Register your interest and you'll hear from us when that window opens.
FAQ
No. We've taken members from engineering, econometrics, law, and the humanities. What matters is the thesis pitch and how you defend it, not prior coursework.
Pick one committee on the form — it's what your case screen and interview are built around. If there's a strong overlap with a second team, that's a conversation for the interview, not the form.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. If you move forward, the committee lead reaches out by email with the case screen and, after that, an interview slot.
Rotterdam members are expected to be based in or around the city for the year, since the work is in person. If you're set on Eindhoven, register your interest there instead — that chapter opens February 2027.
The next Rotterdam cohort's applications open August 2027. There's no rolling admission outside the two windows.
