What this amount gets you is an all-expense paid fun and interactive introduction weekend, snacks and drinks at every workshop you participate in, and, of course, the opportunity of a lifetime to learn from top companies about entrepreneurship and consultancy! The final application deadline is December 15th, 23:59 CET 2025. Upon admission, we will get in touch with you via e-mail, and more information regarding the payment and the introduction weekend will be provided. If any questions arise in the meantime, do not hesitate to send an email to info@uubc.nl.
