International Student Committee

International Student Committee (ISC)
The International Student Committee (ISC) is made up of both Dutch and international students who work together to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment at the Faculty of Economics and Business. The committee’s goal is to help international students feel at home in Amsterdam by promoting cultural integration and meaningful connections.

The ISC organises a variety of social and cultural events throughout the year, often inspired by Dutch traditions but always with an international twist. Past events include pub crawls, food tours, pannenkoeken boat trips, and other day and night activities that bring students together in fun and informal settings. These events are designed to give international students a taste of Dutch culture while also creating space to celebrate and share their own backgrounds.

Beyond events, the ISC also supports prospective and current students with helpful resources, such as a Q&A platform, to answer questions about studying in Amsterdam, adjusting to a new country, or navigating student life.

For any questions about the ISC or its events, feel free to contact us at isc@sefa.nl.

What can I learn as a committee member?

The International Student Committee initially consists of 5 members who have their own specific position within the committee and will be joined by a Junior Member of Sefa later on. In the committee you will function as an active and supportive member in making day-to-day decisions regarding the activities of the committee and supporting the other members in their tasks. Furthermore, you will gain practical experience, learn how to make an event successful, and develop your teamwork skills.
