Your Responsibilities
UE´s mission is to provide students with excellent and relevant education and the knowledge and skills they need to assert themselves in their professional lives as entrepreneurial thinkers and doers. Thus, career entry not only requires a timely and completed course of study but also a strategy for how and where students and graduates can apply for jobs. The Career Development Center is the central interface between studies and companies. The Center supports UE departments in preparing students for their transition into professional life and to the labour market. We also serve as a point of contact for employers and associations looking for interns, graduates, or for support in practical projects.
