Career after your Studies
International graduates have very good prospects in the job market. We have tips for a successful career start Abroad!
If you wish to work in Abroad after you've finished studying, you should start making plans while you're still a student. With an "inner inventory" you can improve the success of your job search. Searching for job offers you shouldn’t only use the internet but also other helpful sources.
INFORMATION ABOUT JOB PROSPECTS
Many vacancies are advertised in sector-specific media: Enter your respective job title (e.g. biologist) and then select the appropriate job outline. You will find association addresses. Industry associations also provide information about job openings.
SPEAKING local language
"The number of job openings is very limited if you don't speak Local Language. This is why it's a good idea to take a language course while you're studying abroad. Of course, you can do an entire degree in English at an abroad university. And fellow students might not have a problem answering you with a bit more than a "yes" or a "no". But for personal contact with future colleagues, it's definitely advisable to have a command of the Local language!
