“Help with internship or job”
Olga R
Russia, Graduate
Social Sciences, 2023
Overall
I have never heard from career office. What is being done - our program supervisor forwards us information about internships, jobs or phd provided by University staff or related organizations somehow linked with the university. Proposals are mostly for german speking students.
However, the issue is not only the german language.
As a student from Russia, due to the current situation, I feel excluded from recruitment by European companies due to my current residentship. As soon as a company see or get know about my residence, the recruitment process suddenly stops.
I would appreciate more support on that from the University.

Course recommendations
For languages students, try not to stay in one "Fakultät" -go to the English building for English courses, to the translation building for translation courses, and so on..

The slang was a little difficult to understand at first, but once you get the basic patterns of differences between north German and Steirischdeutsch, it becomes easier.
