Student advisory agency Scompany of HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht helps organisations with communication challenges
Effective communication can be quite a challenge due to lack of time, resources or knowledge: Scompany can help!
Scompany is the student consultancy of 4th-year communication students from the Communication study programme, HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht. Working as a team, they tackle your communication issue with a fresh outlook and up-to-date knowledge. All kinds of communication issues are submitted to Scompany: from brand awareness, image, online strategy and job market communication, to internal communication and knowledge sharing.
Scompany’s junior advisers research the issue and come up with concrete, tailor-made advice in nine weeks. During the assignment period, the junior advisers work from Scompany’s office at the HU, under the guidance of senior advisers (expert lecturers). This is being done at a reduced rate.
