International organizations, think tanks, foundations and companies are popular employers of choice for prospective social scientists. A confident appearance in an international context is also a success factor for an academic career.
In this study-accompanying program, students and exchange students of FB02 start their strategic international career planning. They receive professional advice, network with employees of international organizations and companies, and learn about international career paths.
Through professional training, students develop important soft skills such as intercultural communication or presentation and self-marketing in an international context.
In English-language courses with international topics, language skills are deepened and the professional profile is sharpened. Learning together with international students also tests international teamwork skills.
With a certificate for international competence, students can document their acquired skills and experiences abroad in their application documents.
This is what our graduate Nathalia says about ICP:
I would absolutely recommend this class, and the broader SoWi?So! certificate program in International Competence to all JGU students. If you’re interested in gaining exposure to diverse career fields around the world, improving your networking skills, and expanding your professional network, then this course is right for you!"
