BCG Business Course: Beyond the Case

From May 18 to 22, 2026, BCG Amsterdam invites you to join our Business Course: Beyond the Case. A five-day, hands-on experience where you don’t just learn about consulting; you actually do the work.

You’ll work as part of a small, driven team on a real Climate and Sustainability strategy case in the Energy sector for a global organization. The challenge is rooted in real-world complexity and gives you the opportunity to apply structured problem-solving, data-driven analysis, and AI tools in a consulting context.

By the end of the week, you won’t just understand what strategy consulting is: you’ll know what it feels like to work at BCG.

Together with fellow high-performing students, you’ll:

• Break down complex problems into structured, actionable insights
• Combine quantitative analysis, qualitative reasoning, and strategic thinking
• Turn ambiguity into a clear, client-ready strategy

Throughout the week, you’ll be closely coached by experienced BCG consultants from the Amsterdam office. They won’t just give feedback on your output; they’ll challenge how you think, help you sharpen your problem-solving skills, and give you an inside look at how consultants grow at BCG.

Beyond the case work, you’ll experience BCG culture as it really is: collaborative, ambitious, and personal. There’s plenty of time to connect with your team, exchange ideas with consultants, and experience life at BCG Amsterdam, both during and beyond office hours.
