What does the use of colour codes imply?
Potential employers can identify the vistors of the afstudeerbeurs by means of their coloured badge. The colour of the badge is automatically linked to the vistors' study programme or the topic of their PhD. These same colours are used by the attending companies/organisations to indicate the disciplines in which they are looking for new employees.
During the 2025 edition of the afstudeerbeurs, the colour codes that companies opt for will be prominently displayed on one of the booth walls.
5 colours are used:
- Pink: Life Sciences & Medicine
- Purple: Exact Sciences & Architecture
- Blue: Law, Economics & Business administration
- Red: IT, Technology and Engineering
- Green: Social & Behavioural Sciences ~ Arts & Humanities
Each booth will be provided with an A4 display. On this display will be indicated the exact location of your company booth at the fair, the degree(s) and experience level(s) sought after and, if applicable, the international career opportunities you have on offer.
The information provided at the time of registration will allow us to prepare the display to be put in your company booth.
