About ABW

The Aureus Business Week is an event that connects the Business world and students through multiple days of challenging and fun activities. During the Aureus Business Week we offer you the opportunity to come in contact with some of the most prestigious companies in the Business sector.

We aim towards Bachelor and Master students that are highly motivated and want to orientate towards the next step in their life. Not only do you get to meet your potential new employer, you also get a chance to get inspired and learn all about the trending topics in Accounting, Retail, Marketing, IT, Strategy & Consultancy and Finance! 

In short, this week full of formal and informal activities is where you can take your next step after student life! 

Amber: Hi everyone! My name is Amber Politiek and I am the Chairman of the Aureus Business Week Committee 2022. I am 21 years old, and I am currently in my 2^nd year bachelor Business Administration. In my spare time I like to go out for some good food or drinks with friends, play hockey or other sports like Rocycle and listen to some music.

I started this committee almost 9 months ago and what a nice couple of months it has been with organizing this event! I am looking forward to meeting you all in November during one or more activities of the Aureus Business Week. If you have any questions, please reach out to me or one of our other committee members. See you in November!
