Career Prep Days (for Internationals)

Prepare your next career steps with the Career Service!

As an international student, you might be wondering: What career options do I have in Germany? What should I know about starting work here - from German work culture to the legal requirements? How can I best present myself through my application documents and professional network? And who can help me with these questions?

From 10 to 12 November 2026, you can find answers to these and other career-related questions in a series of workshops, Q&As, and guidance sessions - fully in English and specifically designed for international students.

Topics of the Career Prep Days include how to approach employers in Germany, how to create impactful job applications and LinkedIn profiles, insights into German work culture, and a look at academic and industrial career paths in the region, presented by the Career Service and external partners and coaches. We will also provide guidance on visas and work permits with a qualified lawyer. Beyond the workshops, you can connect with fellow students during a walk in the park and learn more about other university services that support your career journey in an online panel.

The Career Prep Days are part of International Week, hosted by the International Office to make the international community at Uni Potsdam and in the region feel welcomed.
