Whether you are in the final stages of your studies or you just want to find out where you want to go with your academic career, the Career Center RWTH Aachen is the right place for you. It is your one-stop shop for all questions about starting your career and careers in general. You can work with experts to learn about your options on the job market and plan how best to make the transition from university to job. "Many RWTH students are not even aware of how sought-after they are by companies," says Anja Robert, who has been head of the Career Center for 15 years. RWTH is in close contact with around 1,500 companies from all sectors. Students can meet companies face-to-face at events such as Career Day, which focuses on topics such as mobility, sustainability and energy, as well as students with experience abroad and consulting for women. In addition, there are workshops on topics such as "Salary negotiations", "The speculative application" and " PhD - Yes or No?". "Through our matching platform, students can search for companies that are suitable for them," Robert explains. "In return, companies find the courses of study and the types of degrees that are relevant to them." The nine members of the Career Center team are of course also available for individual consultations including checking your application portfolio - between 1,000 and 1,500 of these interviews have been held in recent years.
