Career

The University of Bayreuth’s Career Services team provides a central interface between student and professional life. We offer guidance and support to students of all subjects with regard to starting their careers, and we help alumni stay in touch with their alma mater. At the same time, a diverse array of cooperation agreements give companies access to the talented young people at our dynamic, research-oriented university.

The two flagship events organized by Career Services are the workshop series Career Days in the summer semester and the career fair Career Forum in winter semester. These events enable direct exchange between students and industry partners and often lead to internships and permanent positions. In addition to these highlights, Career Services also offers a diverse event programme full of workshops, excursions, seminars, webinars, and talks.
