180 Degrees Connect

Stay in touch until you join the team.

Not every application gets a place in our consulting team. Connect keeps the door open: you can take part in selected events, get to know us better and apply again for the next batch.

  • Come to the Consulting Night
  • Join selected open events
  • Stay in touch with our team and hear about the next application round first

Questions

Good to know

I didn't get a place. Can I apply again?

Yes, and we encourage it. Apply for the next batch. Connect helps you get to know us and our work in the meantime.

Why can't Connect members join the partner workshops?

Our premium partner workshops are small and part of the programme for our consulting team. They build on the project work our consultants do.

Does Connect cost anything?

No. Connect is free for students.
