Career Orientation Day
The Career Orientation Day (COD) will take place November 17th 2026!
The COD is an event where students get an impression of what you can actually do after finishing your studies.
You can register here!
Various companies, academics and alumni from De Leidsche Flesch will come to this event to talk about career options in addition to their personal career. They can tell you what they did after achieving their bachelor and / or master degree and what opportunities are out there. In this way you get a varied view of your career after your studies.
You can attend any lecture without signing up. However, if you want to participate in two or more lectures, or if you want to attend the dinner, please sign up. If you or someone you know are not a member of De Leidsche Flesch, but wish to participate anyway, please send an email to extern@deleidscheflesch.nl. Participants get free dinner (Woo Ping) upon attending the majority of lectures!
The programme is still subject to change. At present, we are expecting the following organisations: KPMG, the Red Cross, and a professor who will be giving a talk.
