Unfortunately, we require a “working level” of English. This is because we operate fully in English.

Our slogan is “Training Tomorrow’s Elite” which means that we want to empower those with the desire to learn. We ask that our members give their best so that we can help them improve past it. At the Business Student Society we give the students the foundation they need to launch a successful career.
Furthermore, our events give students the possibility to network and interact with the speaker(s) and upload their CV to the database of the company. We are proud to say that this has led some students to receive internship offers.
