Panel Session


Several (approximately 3-6) professionals (more information will follow soon) with an academic background in Political Science will discuss what it is like to enter the labour market from their own specialisation. They will answer questions from the audience to provide a clear picture of the possibilities, such as:

  • What characterises the work they do? And why might you choose—or choose not—to pursue this type of job?
  • Which knowledge, skills, and competencies are important to be successful in the field? And how can you start developing these already as a student?
  • How did they experience the transition from studying to working? What tips do they have?
  • To what extent do their organisation and the accompanying work culture influence their role and their job satisfaction?

Meet & Greet with Alumni


After the panel discussion, students will continue the conversation in small groups with all the professionals.
