Central Faculty Administration

The Central Faculty Administration, under the leadership of the Managing Director, is responsible for an efficient and effective, student-centred administration that supports teaching and research and provides tangible added value for students. The following administrative units are contact points for students, researchers / teachers, and employees.

They implement strategic projects, support the Faculty in administrative and organisational matters, and ensure that university operations run smoothly.

The WiSo Career Service acts as a central point of contact for all matters relating to work experience and graduate employment. We are geared towards meeting the needs of both our students and potential employers.

For students, these matters include internships, career counselling and guidance about applications and additional qualifications. The WiSo Career Service organises seminars, lectures and targeted programmes in cooperation with employers as well as external and internal experts. Together with internal faculty and university partners, we offer support and concrete help in the initial phase of professional orientation.

For employers, the WiSo Career Service is there to help if you are interested in WiSo faculty activities concerning recruitment, employer branding or direct forms of cooperation. We also help if you want to know more about inter-faculty initiatives or address specific subjects. The Career Service is your point of reference in all matters of targeted recruiting at the WiSo faculty.
