The job market is complex and offers a wide range of options for students when they finish their degrees. Decisive factors for a successful start to your career are a clear professional goal, some initial experience in actual practice, contacts in the working world, and the ability to make a convincing impression in the job application process. The Career Service supports students from all subjects on their personal journey from their studies via internships to their careers.
