Comprehensive knowledge about the working life supports not only employment but also study planning. We collect data on the employment and career development of our master’s graduates through various career surveys and report the results also by major. Our alumni also assist students in many ways; one example is alumni stories where they share their career paths. Additionally, we have published various internship stories that provide insights into different internship opportunities.
