Career

Employment after graduation

The prospects of employment immediate after graduation are good. During the winter of 2019 an alumni survey was conducted among students graduating in 2011-2017.

Our former students demonstrate a quick establishment on the labor market. According to the 2019 alumni survey, eight out of ten had a job within six months of graduating. Every forth student had a job even before getting their master’s degree!
 
The master’s programme international profile creates opportunities to work in many different parts of the world. Many choose to pursue a career outside their country of origin and one third of the foreign students stay in Sweden after graduating.
 
A majority of our past students find the education useful in their current employment and says that there is a connection between the master’s studies and their working life. The interdisciplinary nature of the programme in which you get knowledge in many subjects enables you to have many choices for future jobs. The education creates opportunities for you to work in the private and public sector. Our alumni work in a variety of fields, such as marketing, logistics, sales, research, entrepreneurship and management to name a few.
