International students
As an international student, you are already familiar with a wide range of challenges. In the process, you have developed competencies and qualifications on how to deal with new situations - a particularly interesting point for potential employers! For your next career step in Germany, we would like to support you with questions on various topics related to career planning, application and career start. However, we do not arrange positions or internships (see our take on consulting).
Addressing your career goals early on will help you to be optimally prepared for the German job market after graduation. For example, you can increase your chances by completing subject-specific internships and acquiring appropriate language skills in the process.
Please feel free to use our advisory service to clarify any questions you may have regarding your application process.
