Career Tuesday on June 09, 2026
Career Prospects Economics
Where exactly can I work with my degree in economics? To help you with your career orientation, former economics graduates will be coming to your university for Career Tuesday “Career Prospects in Economics” to show you how they entered professional life after their studies, what challenges they overcame along the way, and what further career prospects opened up for them. You will receive tips and suggestions for your potential internship or job preferences and have the opportunity to network.
The event is being held in collaboration with WiSo Alumni.
