Step 3. What you can

On this site, you can read about the experiences of former students from your study in regard to their qualifications and how they use them in the job market.

The list is by no means exhaustive – there are plenty of students who have used their education to learn many other things and who have created a future that no one could have seen coming.  But remember, the list is never ending.

Doing your study preparation, exam assignments and other study activities it can be difficult to find out, which competences all your hard work gives you.

A MSc in IT – Web Communication Design is an intense learning process in which you learn to:

  • configure, apply and develop digital applications and information products with relevance to web-based communication
  • communicate about web communication and applications with different target groups and collaborate with others on the development of solutions in these areas
  • understand, reflect on and evaluate theories, strategies, methods and standards in the field of communication, interaction and IT
  • apply formats and standards for structuring, presenting and exchanging information content in web-based communication
  • convey research based knowledge and discuss professional and scientific questions with colleagues as well as non-specialists
  • initiate and carry out professional and interdisciplinary cooperation and assume professional responsibility

Perhaps you are now thinking that you are developing more skills and other exciting competences, which is very good because you’re the expert who can continue the "list" during your studies.

What will you work as when you’ve finished your education? This question has probably been given to you in numerous occasions without you knowing what to answer.

Several times during your studies, you may doubt what you’re doing - and if you have chosen correctly. Although doubts can be uncomfortable, doubts are a chance to think about what choices you have doing your studies. The options can help to tune your profile in the direction you think is exciting and makes sense in your career plans.

Perhaps you think it might be exciting to work in the IT industry, at media and cultural institutions, with learning or something else entirely, but you don’t know if you have what it takes. Luckily you have a chance to figure it out during your studies.

It may be that you find it exciting to try a work placement/company-based internship and / or try studying abroad to get to know another culture, test your competences and discover new possibilities.

Or maybe you are considering trying a student job in which you can get the opportunity to solve tasks where you make use of some of your competences from your studies and discover new career opportunities that you didn’t know would be an opportunity for someone with your skills.

These and many other activities are the kind of possibilities that can help you profile yourself and shed new light on your career opportunities.
