You can discuss these and other questions with experts from the Central Student Advisory Service, the Siegen Employment Agency, the Siegen Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the South Westphalia Chamber of Crafts, the Siegen-Wittgenstein District Educational Advisory Service and the Career Services of the University of Siegen.

If things don't go so well at university, thoughts like: Am I studying the right thing? Will it help me later on? Should I drop out of my studies?
It is then worth contacting the university's career service, as even supposedly non-practical course content often opens up surprising opportunities. If you know your skills and career goals better, you will find it easier to progress in your studies and start your career. In this event, Marcellus Menke will present the services offered by the university's Career Service: Up-to-date information and plenty of room for individual questions.
Speaker: Marcellus Menke M.A., Career Services
