Jobs and Career

A major in cultural studies qualifies you for a broad range of occupational fields since this educational profile exposes students to a great number of individual professional fields: graduates work often in organizations in the field of art, music und literature, in cultural foundations or in cultural management, but also in press-, marketing-, and public relations departments of businesses, as journalists or in the area of tourism, as well as in the multiple segments of culture and creative economy.  You can find further information concerning the specific professional fields, for which the individual specializations prepare you, on the subpages of each specialization.

Cultural scientists are well trained in working through complex and previously unknown problems and to translate between different fields of knowledge. They are therefore particularly qualified to work in any number of varied occupations even as they are constantly undergoing transformations. A survey amongst graduates from the former cultural studies Master’s program strongly confirmed this conclusion: as generalists, cultural scientists are less dependent on the job possibililities avaible in individual professions. As a cultural sciences graduate, you will fair better than graduates from comparable programs in finding sustained employment on the jobmarket.
