Overview

The objective of the FSA Research Project (RP) is to provide students with insight into the world of an international consultant. The group consists of 12 students that will work together on various projects over the next eight months. The first challenge for the group is to acquire six consultancy projects for Dutch companies. Consultancy firms provide several trainings to the students to ensure that the acquisition will be successful. The acquisition period will run from January to April. It is important that potential participants are aware that the acquisition period will take about twelve to sixteen hours a week. The twelve students will be divided into six groups of two students. Each group is assigned with an appropriate project and will start to prepare the project with the necessary desk research. The desk research will take place at the FSA office on Roeterseiland. After an exciting acquisition period and desk research, the field research in South Korea can finally start. We will start this period with an opening week, which marks the discovery of South Korea and enables the students to adapt to the local culture, environment and climate. The groups will travel through the country to different locations to conduct their research during five weeks of hard work. The adventure will end with a closing weekend, after this weekend you are free to travel on your own and explore South Korea / South-East Asia. Once the group has returned to the Netherlands, the final stage of the project will start. The results of the research need to be summarized in a report and the report will be presented to the company. This will take place in September or October. Throughout the project, participants will receive multiple training courses from several large consultancy companies.
