My master’s thesis enabled me to start my career in the Human Resources department of the Volvo Group in 2014. Today, I am responsible for supporting our managers of the Volvo Group Trucks branch in southern Germany and for advising our sales departments all over Germany on HR topics. My knowledge of both psychology and education as well as my specialization in Human Resources, a subfield of business administration, continue to be very valuable in my daily work. The methodological and social skills I gained during my studies were the key to my professional career.

A big advantage of the program is that you don’t have to know which career you want to pursue right away. Depending on your skills and interests, the degree enables you to become a teacher, or to work in the private sector or in academia. I am currently a teacher with higher civil servant status at the largest secondary school with a commercial focus in the south of the Baden region.
