A clear career goal, practical experience, contacts in the world of work and a convincing appearance during the application process are crucial factors for a successful career start. The Career Service supports students from all disciplines on their personal journey from university to internships and into their careers.

We provide support in the following areas, among others:

  • Assessment of personal interests and skills
  • Practical experiences and career decisions
  • Job search and applications
  • Job interviews (digital and in person)
  • Professional social networks (e.g. XING, LinkedIn)
  • Self-motivation in the application process
