Where does a historian work? Where does an economics graduate work? What does a political scientist do after a bachelor's degree?
Students in the humanities and social sciences, in particular, graduate with a degree that does not prepare them for any specific field of work. There are practically no specifically advertised jobs for sociologists or Romance scholars outside of academia.
Graduates of different fields of study can thus, on the one hand, take up the same profession after their bachelor's or master's degree, but on the other hand, students of the same subject can go in very different professional directions.
It is necessary to identify possible fields of activity for oneself individually and to create personal points of contact here in order to create a successful transition into the job market.
The Career Service helps students and graduates to develop their personal job market. To support them, we have introduced some occupational fields. In addition, the event "the hidden job market for humanities graduates" is offered regularly.
The counseling service is of course available to all students, including those outside the humanities and social sciences. This concerns also students of subjects in which there is a classical job market (e.g. social work, economics, technical disciplines, teaching profession), but who are also considering the possibility of a lateral entry in other fields.
