Career Service Appointment
Besides its Karriere-Sprechstunde (held in German), the Career Service at the University of Bonn also offers brief career consultations geared specifically to international students. These Career Service Appointments will be conducted in English and will focus on getting into the German job market.
Have you been asking yourself one of the following questions?
- What can I or do I want to do for a living after I graduate?
- How can I get some work experience while I’m still a student and thus have an easier time finding a job in Germany?
- Are there any particular conditions that are relevant when entering the German job market?
Find answers to these and many other questions about your own personal career planning at a Career Service Appointment.

Feedback:
"The Career Service Appointment with Dr. Bohne was a complete success for me. As an international student it is especially helpful since she provides lots of insight regarding German labor opportunities as well as how to obtain them. She had closely studied my CV and the application documents I filled in before attending the appointment, so she had a clear picture of my situation in mind and could offer tailored help and advice. Dr. Bohne is also a very kind and approachable person who makes you feel comfortable and invites you to ask questions. I fully recommend this service to any international student wanting to know more about job opportunities in Germany."
