By students For students

The Amsterdam Career Days is an event proudly organized by students, for students. Every year, a dedicated team from two of Amsterdam’s largest universities—Aureus (VU) and Sefa (UvA)—works together to bring this event to life. While we represent these two institutions, our doors are open to all students, regardless of your university, as long as you can attend.

We understand the challenges students face when exploring career options because we’re in the same boat. That's why we’ve crafted an event filled with opportunities to connect with top companies, expand your network, and gain valuable insights—all in a welcoming, student-driven environment.

When & Where

The Amsterdam Career Days offers two types of activities: on-site events and external sessions. On-site activities will take place at Hotel Casa Amsterdam, located at Eerste Ringdijkstraat 4, 1097 BC Amsterdam. Any external locations will be announced via email, so keep an eye on your inbox for updates.

Each day’s program runs from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with a full schedule of engaging activities. To top it off, the last activity of the day is an informal session featuring unlimited wine and beer, hosted by the main partner company of the day—this is included in your ticket price, making it a great way to relax and network!

Speakers & Company fair

Room for Discussion (UvA) will host a daily keynote session featuring a prominent guest speaker,  where each guest will take the stage to share valuable insights on trending topics and industry developments. These engaging sessions are open to all attendees, offering you a unique opportunity to learn directly from top industry leaders and experts.

Following the keynote, join us for the Company Fair from 12:00 to 15:00 in the Erasmus Room at Hotel Casa. This is your chance to connect face-to-face with leading companies, ask questions, and explore potential career paths in a relaxed, informal setting. Open to all students, the fair is a perfect way to expand your professional network and discover new opportunities.
