Working abroad
More and more doctoral candidates and university graduates want to work abroad after completing their studies. There are many different ways to find permanent employment abroad, but there are also numerous questions and challenges that arise in this context. One possible point of contact for those seeking advice is the Zentrale Auslands- und Fachvermittlung (ZAV – Central International Placement Agency) from the Bundesagentur für Arbeit (Federal Employment Agency). In addition to providing information and advice on working abroad, the ZAV also offers international personnel services and operates a global job placement service.

There are many ways to find temporary or permanent employment in another country. You can use international job portals on the Internet. Another option is to go abroad via a German company that operates internationally. The best way to do this is to search the company’s website for international job vacancies. Doctoral candidates and graduates can also undertake limited professional assignments abroad, for example, in the form of work and travel or aid projects.
