"AFC brings students and companies together in a
unique way. Hundreds of companies have opened
their doors to AFC and are inspired by their fresh
ideas and enthusiasm."
- Handrin Wemel (Founder AFC Leuven)
"Academics For Companies has become an important
partner for KU Leuven. The opportunities that AFC
offers in the field of student consulting and
entrepreneurship are invaluable to our students.
Thanks to the AFC initiatives, they are offered an
important in-company learning experience, which can
also offer great added value for the organizations that
give the assignment. For this reason, AFC deserves and
receives my full support."
- Luc Sels (Rector KU Leuven)

AFC Leuven was founded in 2007 with the aim of
building a bridge between the academic and the
business world. Thirteen years later, Academics For
Companies is still striving to improve the soft skills
of students. As an interfaculty platform, AFC is
based on three pillars: Events, Workshops and
Experience. This is why our slogan is "Explore,
Learn, Apply".
LIVE LIKE A CONSULTANT AT AFC
With a Student Consulting Project you can further develop your skills
through creative and quality projects for companies active in various
sectors.
As a student you get the chance to get a taste of life as a consultant during
ten weeks in multidisciplinary teams of five people, by tackling a business
problem and formulating advice.
Professional guidance and an adapted short training course consisting of
several workshops will ensure that your team is able to complete the
project successfully. The result is a satisfied company with an
implementable solution and five satisfied students with improved skills.
In addition to the hard work, there is also time for fun during the various
teambuilding sessions and the members' party!
Make a difference in the industry and see your advice become reality!

GO FOR PROFESSIONAL TRAINING
Throughout the 10 weeks you will be trained as a consultant through
various workshops and coaching sessions.
Workshop Scope is given by our senior partner AT Kearney. As leading global
management consulting firm, specialized in strategy, they are the ideal
partner to start the project. We will look at how best to start your
consultancy case, how to process all information and what the next steps
are.
Workshop Presentation is given by Sia Partners, the next senior partner of
AFC. As leading French consultancy agency, they are at home in all markets,
which makes them the ideal partner to adapt your presentation specifically
to the needs of the client. You will learn how consultants present their
advice, which structure is used and how your impact continues to resonate.
Furthermore, AFC offers a diverse range of junior and supporting partners
as support, who can always be called upon for additional questions or
coaching.
Are you considering a career in consulting? Or are you simply looking for a
challenge where you can put all your knowledge and skills into practice? Are
you driven, do you want to contribute to the industry? And above all, do
you want to meet new like-minded students? Then
is student consulting the perfect cut for you!
Because your hard work should be rewarded, you can contribute your
student consulting project for ECTS credits in the following faculties. The
weekly workload should be estimated at 8-10 hours.

ORGANIZATION & HRMCompensation & benefits
Improving organizational structure Changing business culture
The teams are put together by measuring both interest and motivation. A
process without re-examinations, an excellent CV or a wide range of past
AFC workshops and events are not essential. Everyone at AFC has a different
background, the most important thing is your motivation and the passion to
make a difference.
