We'll help to understand the local job market and support in the application process. No matter whether internship, part-time job or career entry after your studies.
A special offer for Engineering/Informatics graduates from international universities is ProfiPlus in which we support your onboarding with additional training and qualification.
The International Career Service is also represented with a group in ILIAS. Here you can find further information, worksheets and links on the topic of application and internship.
Whether for an internship or a career start: the application is both a prerequisite and a cornerstone. However, depending on the culture, the presentation of a successful portfolio is often different. Thus, international students often apply in the way they are familiar with from their home countries. The result: many applicants fail because of cultural differences and not because of their competences.
To break through this, HHN runs the International Career Service (ICS). The support offered is diverse with the recent "International Career Weekend" being the latest added offer. Head Miriam Borgert explains: “This offer is a completely new concept. Through several workshops and voluntary discussion rounds, students receive tips, advice and information on how the application process works in Germany.“
In the first round, 15 internationals benefited from this offer. “The students learned how to present themselves convincingly with their application portfolio and what it takes to stay confident and calm during a job interview.“

The International Career Service is part of the project INVEST-PRO³. It is funded by the DAAD as part of the UAS.International programme initiative and supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
