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.
