Good reas­ons to join the GKW alumni net­work:

  • Get in touch with alumni with PhDs in our network who have pursued career paths outside academia or in fields close to academia and benefit from the experiences they can share with you
  • Establish contact with people in non-academic career fields, possibly even with specific companies or foundations

In our KOMO course you can find various portraits of Paderborn University alumni who are happy to get into contact, advise you on possible career paths and share their own experiences with applications. You can contact them directly on KOMO. Are there any further questions? Dr. Anda-Lisa Harmening will be happy to advise you.

Alumni-Por­traits

In the KOMO course provided by GKW you will find portraits and contact details of alumni participating in the network. The course is linked below. The enrollment key can be obtained from Dr.in Anda-Lisa Harmening. Please contact the Graduate Center KW by mail.

"Look for ca­reer paths out­side aca­demia early on."

Anna-Lena Berscheid did her doctorate in the field of sociology at the NRW Forschungskolleg. In the interview, she talks about her experiences during the doctoral phase and why she decided to pursue a career outside of academia.
