Dedicated Career Service Center
Career Services is a central element of the HdWM study model. It is the link between partner companies and students. Our Career Services helps to form relationships between students and partner companies. "Career Services has the task to combine the requirements of the partner companies with the wishes of the students, which ideally leads to a mediation (matching).
This process already starts with the first consultation in the admissions process. Students are assessed whether their personality fits our university or to a future partner enterprise. The data collected in our application procedure serves as the basis for the 'matching'. During the entire course of study, the employees of Career Services look after the students and ensure that they get to know each other personally in various events, such as contact fairs, guest lectures, and career seminars, and to get to know partner companies and students," Prof. Jenkins pointed out.
Starting with 28 students and three courses, the University of Applied Management Studies (HdWM) has developed as one of the leading private universities in Germany. Presently, the university offers five bachelor's degree and two master degree programmes to about 450 students. Through international networking with other universities, the use of synergies, in particular with the partners Internationale Bund and Deutsch-Türkisches Institut für Arbeit und Bildung eV, as well as the international orientation of the college and the students, HdWM has demonstrated its cosmopolitanism. When asked about the university's future plans, Prof. Jenkins revealed, "We are growing fast. The institute expects more than 600 students in the upcoming years. And we also will continue to deliver high-quality teaching and international orientation and will focus on research projects on business-related management issues as well as quaternary education. The HdWM will keep on generating its own resources for its continuous improvement and innovation."
