Career opportunities
Many ISS students left their previous jobs and look for new challenges. Some of our MA graduates move on within the academic world and pursue a PhD, others are looking for a job in the development sector.
ISS has a special Career Services Corner in the library. Here you will find interesting books on career planning and networking, flyers with tips where to search for a job, announcements of presentations and adverts on a notice board.
