Who are we?

The Amsterdam Career Days is the premier career event for students exploring their future professional paths. In collaboration with the faculty associations Aureus from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Sefa from the University of Amsterdam, this event reaches over 2,000 students from diverse backgrounds each year. It is the largest career fair of its kind in Amsterdam, specifically tailored for students in Economics, Business Administration, Econometrics, Finance, and Accounting.

The event provides students with the opportunity to engage with leading multinationals, non-profit organizations, and other esteemed companies. Attendees can gain valuable insights into participating organizations through a variety of formal and informal activities.

The 30th edition of the Amsterdam Career Days will take place in the first week of March 2025.

History

The Amsterdam Career Days was first organized in 1995 by the Sefa faculty association of the University of Amsterdam's Economics and Business department. In 2002, the Aureus faculty association joined the ACD organizing team to attract students from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Today, the ACD continues to be organized by both associations, drawing university students not only from Amsterdam but from across the country.

In recent years, our event has grown to become one of the largest career fairs in the Netherlands. Last year, we received 2,000 applications, with 80% of applicants being master's students or recent graduates. This consistent level of interest demonstrates the effectiveness of the ACD model. In 2025, we will host the 30th edition of the Amsterdam Career Days, adding a few special touches for the milestone that is our Lustrum edition! Nonetheless, promising the same high standards of professionalism and quality that we have maintained throughout our previous 29 editions.
