Career Center (CC)

Our Career Center supports all university students during their studies, as well as regarding job searches and career advice. We also work with companies looking to recruit new staff.

The CC organises seminars on topics such as job application training, presentation techniques or time management. It also provides individual counselling for students during their courses (including problems with motivation, abandoning studies, etc.), as well as during the transition from higher education to employment.

The seminars and advisory services involve no extra charges for our students. Our graduates are also welcome to utilise the services.

The Career Center administers several scholarships and other financial aid opportunities; they also manage Mannheim University of Applied Sciences’ Trainee Programme.

Trainee programme

The primary goal of Mannheim University of Applied Sciences's trainee programme is to enable students to gain professional experience while still at the university. Various companies in the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region provide outstanding students with part-time employment during their studies, thus giving them invaluable practical experience and a source of income to help pay for their study expenses.
