Academic Services
The mission of STAR is to provide development opportunities for RSM students; therefore we believe that it is of utmost importance to provide outstanding academic services. Today we have a number of committees that provide for academic services, like the STAR Management Week (October), the BA and IBA Study Trips (April), Case Competitions (all year) and Conferences & Networking (all year). Throughout the year the Master Study Clubs organize several events to support our academic services for master students. Moreover we facilitate the book sale for all RSM students.
STAR Management Week
STAR Management Week is one of the largest student events in the Benelux. This week long, nationwide showcase event is considered our annual pinnacle as it constitutes a significant interface between students, academia, and our corporate network. STAR Management Week culminates in one of the largest student festivities in The Netherlands; the STAR Party.
Case Competitions
The Case Competitions Committee strives to organize case competitions and enable students to participate in case competitions abroad. Students from multiple top schools compete with each other in solving a business case.
Conferences & Networking
During 30 years of existence, the perfect way to share knowledge and vision of world leaders and world movers has been through conferences. The Conferences & Networking committee has great opportunities and can benefit from an illustrious list of past speakers to attract future speakers.
International Week
An International Week is an exchange project for international students. A number of students from all over the world are invited by students from the host university. During this week, students participate in numerous activities to get acquainted with the city, local culture, local business life, the university, and other students.

Master Study Clubs
The STAR Master Study Clubs aims to provide student clarification and intensification in the curriculum of its corresponding master programme. It provides extra value to master students by stimulating social cohesion and linking these students to potential employers. This is achieved through the organization of formal and informal activities, targeted activities with companies related to the master programme, and providing a window of opportunity for getting in contact with companies more easily.
