The study association of the RSM Erasmus University; STAR, is with over 5.500 members of which over 1.000 international students and 250 active members, the biggest but most of all the most active and international study association in the Netherlands.

STAR provides students with the opportunity to get in contact with their fellow students, their study and a broad range of companies. This is facilitated by the great amount of activities that are organized by numerous committees and Master Study Clubs. There are activities for both BA and IBA students in all phases of the study. The best known events are the STAR Management Week, which consists of an entrepreneurial Seminar, an Academic Conference, workshops, corporate clinics and the biggest student party in The Netherlands. The International Business Study, where students conduct research for companies in an emerging market. And the Erasmus Recruitment Days is the largest recruitment event of the Benelux that is organised by students.

In addition to the Academic activities, STAR also aims to arrange a broad range of social activities. Every Wednesday the weekly drink at the Villa Kakelbont takes place and every month an IBA social drink brings all IBA students together. A few times a year parties, like the STAR party in the STAR Management Week, make great DJ's take the stage.

We communicate to our students by means of our website, direct mail, the STAR Agenda and other publications (brochures, flyers, posters, etc.) We also have our own magazine, the STAR Interface which is distributed five times a year. In this magazine we have the latest news on the STAR activities, interviews with renowned people, CEOs, entrepreneurs and politicians, as well as news on developments within the business environment. The Interface is sent to 7.000 students and relations and is thereby the largest faculty magazine in the Netherlands.

In short, you will meet STAR during the full period of your studies; from the introduction weekend up until your graduation party!

"We strive to be a professional, friendly, social and open association and to create a fantastic year full of activities"
