Geschiedenis

Study association Aureus was founded in 1948, when economics students at VU University Amsterdam united to form the ‘Economic Study Association at the VU’. The association focused most of its efforts on organizing excursions. By the late 1960s, the association had been renamed the ‘VESVU’ (Association of Economics Students at the VU). The name change meant that the association had to become more professional. ‘VESVU’ transformed from being mainly a social club into a student trade union-like organization. This changed again in the 1980s, as students gradually lost interest in their right to participation. The student trade union image faded into the background and the ‘VESVU’ resumed its social function. Later on the association took on the name Aureus, which means ‘Golden coin’ during the ancient Roman times. Step by step the association became more professional, collaborated with companies, organized some recruitment events and grew every step of the way. At this point, the association offers students a wide range of services such as study material, e.g. summaries and tutoring classes, career orientation in the form of several events, social activities and training opportunities.

Activiteiten

Aureus organises all kind of activities during the year. Everything that is organized can be classified under the 4 pillars of the association: Academic, Career, Social and Skills.

Academic
The academic pillar tries to grasp the theory which the students get offered in the curriculum of the university and brings this into practice. Activities such as speaker events, where the speaker tells a compelling story about how ‘work life’ looks and binds this with the current knowledge of students.

Career
The career pillar focuses on giving students the opportunity to orientate and prepare for their future job. While first years bachelor students are more trying to understand which kind of companies and sectors are on the job market, third year bachelor students and master students are already looking for a job they want to pursuit after their study. Aureus organizes different kinds of career events for both target groups, so all are satisfied and can fully prepare themselves for the future.

Skills
The skills pillar strives to give students the opportunity to gain essential skills which they can use in the future. Activities such as training sessions about improving your interview skills, how to make a better cv are excellent examples of what this pillar entails.

Social
Next to the serious and formal activities, we have a more fun and informal pillar. Aureus also organizes a lot of drinks, trips abroad and other interactive activities which give students the opportunity to meet peers, connect with likeminded people and have a fun time.
