Business provides opportunities...
Suitable for Business believes that students of the humanities and social sciences are in possession of valuable skills that can greatly contribute to any business environment. We believe that diversity is an advantage and that the more varied the input the more enriched the output.
Through our annual case competition we showcase the abilities of humanities and social sciences students as they solve a business case in order to illustrate the relevance of their unique competences. This is a chance for you to experience the skills and competences of humanities and social science students first-hand and to see what they have to offer!
