Terms like marketing, project implementation, entrepreneurial self-employment hover over you like a sword of Damocles - you know you might need them at some point, but you're unsure if you want to dive deep into the subject matter?  Our course provides insight to different professional options and different fields of professional matters (PR, Marketing, Self-Employment, Research, Funding Options, overview of organizations). We let people from different institutions talk shop and offer some interesting point of views of their professional field. Colleagues and alumni of the Angewandte will give a first insight into the conceptual matter, talk about their own professional practice and be available for questions in a subsequent discussion. Our course will provide an introduction and overview of the above concepts, including two evening events (see dates below), a field trip to a Viennese institution and special guests.

This course is offered in English.
