The FSA (Financial Study association Amsterdam) is the largest financial study association in the Netherlands and it is administrated by students from the Universiteit van Amsterdam and the Vrije Universiteit. The FSA has the objective to bridge the gap between the theory as taught at the university and the practice of the business field.
We do this by organizing several national and international projects during the year. In this way the students participating in the FSA projects or those who organize the projects have the opportunity to meet their future employer, while the participating companies will get the possibility to meet top students in the final stage of their study.
The projects of the FSA refer to the subjects Accountancy, Consultancy, Controlling, Banking & Finance. These subjects are covered in the following projects: London Banking Tour, International Banking Cycle, Beroependagen, Real Estate Days, Landelijke Beleggings Competitie, Access Accountancy, Consultition, Congres, Corporate Days, Investment Cruise, Fort Boyard, FAN Controlling Competition, FSA Master Courses and the International Research Project. We also publish the academic magazine Fiducie and the FSA association magazine FSA & Beyond.
All activities of the FSA are being organized by students from both universities of Amsterdam with an interest in finance. For the organization of the projects, the FSA cooperates with many companies. Besides this there is collaboration in a national context with other study associations which are located in Groningen, Maastricht, Rotterdam and Tilburg. We have different ways of cooperation with these associations within the Financial Association of the Netherlands (FAN).
Innovation, ambition and enthusiasm are elements that people of the FSA share. This is also reflected in our slogan: ’The urge to improve is what makes the difference’. It has made us to what we are today and stimulates us to find new and better ways to bring students and employers closer together. The FSA is always looking for talented members and there are enough ways to benefit from the opportunities we offer.
