Scoping call
Start of cycle
A structured discovery conversation: your challenge, your constraints, what success looks like. One hour, no commitment.
Delft × Rotterdam · Established 2019
Strategy for problems that matter
For organisations doing good — made uniquely affordable, by student consultants from TU Delft and Erasmus Rotterdam.

How an engagement runs
Two consulting cycles a year: October–January and March–June. Each engagement is scoped to a single cycle.
Proposal, signed by you
Week 1
A written scope: what we will answer, what we won't, and what you'll hold at the end. No surprises mid-project.
The project
The cycle
A team of 4–6 student consultants with a dedicated Team Leader. A mid-point review where you course-correct, and working sessions as the analysis firms up. Your time: about an hour a week.
Board-ready presentation
End of cycle
Presented to you, with every underlying analysis handed over. Yours to use, cite, and build on.
Welcome
Two cities, two universities, one team
We are the first multi-city branch of 180 Degrees Consulting — the world's largest university-based consultancy, with branches across dozens of countries. The technical depth of Delft and the business acumen of Rotterdam, pointed at problems that matter.
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 is always expanding and takes projects case by case. If your challenge sits outside this list, ask anyway.

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.
“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
No consulting experience required. Engineers, designers, economists, and social scientists wanted. We recruit twice a year, once per consulting cycle: Cycle 1 recruits in September; Cycle 2 recruits in January/February.
Role
Consultant
No experience required — and we mean it. You'll work directly with a real organisation's leadership for a cycle, with a trained team and a Team Leader around you.
Role
Team Leader
Experience is wanted here: the usual path is one cycle as a Consultant, then stepping up to Team Leader the next. You'll own scope, client relationship, and quality for your project.
