Career talks

Students ask the questions, alumni provide the answers

Our career talks with alumni offer current and former students the perfect opportunity to have a lively discussion about careers. In a relaxed setting where students ask the questions and alumni provide the answers, experienced graduates talk about their career paths, explain what their every-day working life is like, and answer questions which the participants have about their professional futures.

Several career talks are held each semester, focussing on different subjects each time.

Would you like to share your knowledge and pass on your experiences to students during our career talks? Then we look forward to hearing from you! alumni@fau.de

What students have to say

Now I finally have an idea of what my career could be like in the future.

It’s fantastic that seminars like this are on offer in Erlangen to support students with their careers.

I got lots of tips about studying and placements, was able to discuss my experience, and gained an insight into what the professional environment is like for German Studies graduates. An absolute must once you approach the end of your studies.
