180 Degrees Consulting Delft–Rotterdam

University-based consultancy · Established 2019 · Delft × Rotterdam

Welcome to 180 Degrees Consulting

We are the first multi-city branch of 180 Degrees Consulting — the world's largest university-based consultancy. TU Delft engineering and Erasmus Rotterdam business, pointed at problems that matter.

We make high-quality strategy consulting uniquely affordable for non-profits, social enterprises, and mission-driven institutions, while giving students from both campuses their first real consulting experience. Two cities, two universities, one team: the technical depth of Delft and the business acumen of Rotterdam.

Our focus is impact — but it isn't a gate. We work with almost any organisation trying to do good. If that's you, you're in the right place; if you're not sure you fit, ask us anyway.

Six service areas

What we do

Each engagement is scoped to one area. These six are where most of our work sits — the branch takes projects case by case and is always expanding.

Digital Transformation

Putting the right tools and processes in place so a small team stops losing hours to manual work.

Marketing & Engagement

Reaching the audiences your mission serves, and the donors and volunteers who sustain it.

Financial Sustainability

Building funding models and cost structures that survive beyond the next grant cycle.

Market Assessment

Evidence on where demand, partners, and competition actually are before you commit resources.

Operational Efficiency

Finding where effort leaks out of your processes and redesigning them around your capacity.

Impact Measurement

Defining and tracking the numbers that prove your work works, for boards and funders.

Quality — shown, not just claimed

Every deliverable is reviewed before a client sees it

An AI-assisted senior review our branch builds in-house and publishes in the open: evidence, logic, and clarity checked against professional consulting standards.

The rule at the bottom of it

"A finding must quote the document verbatim, or stay silent."

The consultant does every rewrite; the reviewer only teaches. We are the only student consultancy we know of that can show you its quality system rather than just claim one.

What a deliverable looks like

Our first case studies are being prepared for publication, with client consent. Until then, here is exactly what a 180DC engagement produces: a board-ready strategy deck, every underlying analysis handed to you, quality-assured before it reaches your desk.

For students — two recruitment windows a year

Get involved

Engineers, designers, economists, and social scientists wanted. No consulting experience required. We recruit twice a year, once per consulting cycle: Cycle 1 recruits in September; Cycle 2 recruits in January/February.

Consultant

Arrive fresh, learn on the job

No experience required — and we mean it. Our consultants arrive fresh and learn on the job, with a trained team and a Project Manager around them. You'll work directly with a real organisation's leadership for a cycle and leave with a board-ready deliverable you helped build.

Project Manager

Lead a team through a cycle

Project Managers lead a consulting team through a cycle. Experience is wanted here: the usual path is one cycle as a Consultant, then stepping up to Project Manager the next. You'll own scope, client relationship, and quality for your project.

Events

Info sessions, workshops, and socials run through each recruitment season and cycle.
