The Community of Practice "Public Humanities" invites you to a career orientation for students of the humanities.

In cooperation with the Career Service, the CoP Public Humanities is organising a workshop on career prospects for humanities graduates on 23 June. Consultants from IT, publishing, science communication and other sectors will introduce themselves and discuss their career paths with the students. In the practical phase of the workshop, the students can then gain their own insights into the fields of work.
