‘What actually happens after graduation? What prospects and opportunities do I have? How can I gain practical experience during my studies? How can I assert myself on the labour market?’

These questions are of particular concern to students of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities who are not studying to become teachers. The possibilities are varied and the occupational fields are often unspecific. This is precisely where the project ‘Career Orientation for Students of the Humanities’ aims to pick up on, sensitise people to the topic, show perspectives and create opportunities for practical insights.
