Career prospects

Alumnitool on LinkedIn
can help you gain insight into possible careers after you finish your degree. It can also help you get in contact with an alumnus or alumna of your degree programme or other programmes. Nearly all graduates have a LinkedIn profile and can answer questions about your future career. They’re often more than happy to share their experiences with you. The video belows explains how the alumnitool works, and how you can use search criteria to find career information that is relevant to you.

Would you like to know more about how you can use LinkedIn to expand your network and put the new information into practice straight away? Take the LinkedIn workshop from Career Services. The workshop

Exploring the job market & networking
is also useful if you'd like to improve your networking skills, using LinkedIn and other ways.

Master's degrees in entrepreneurship

Utrecht University offers various Master's degree programmes that will familiarise you with entrepreneurship. Note that if you lack the required background for a given Master's degree programme, you can usually follow a pre-Master that will still allow you to take part.

• A new one-year Master's degree programme in Business Development and Entrepreneurship will start at the Utrecht School of Economics in September 2016.
• If your background is in Science or Medicine, the two-year

Science and Business Management
Master's degree programme may be right for you.

• The two-year

Sustainable Business and Innovation
Master's degree programme is available to a broad group of students, but it does require some prior knowledge. Please review the
Admission and application
page for details.

Becoming a teacher

If you'd like to teach in secondary education, you have two options.

Two-year teacher training

Utrecht University offers nine teacher training programmes you can take once you complete your Bachelor's degree: German, English, French, Geography, History, Art History, Dutch, Science (taught in English), and Spanish. These Master's degree programmes will grant you a first degree teaching qualification for secondary education. That means you will be able to work in the upper and lower years of vmbo, havo, and vwo in the Netherlands.

Take a look at UU's
Master's degree programme selection site

One-year teacher training

You can also specialise by taking a different, one-year Master's degree programme and then following a one-year (Dutch language) teacher training programme. These diplomas afford you the same rights and opportunities as the two-year teacher training programme.

PhD programmes

When you complete your Master's degree programme, if you enjoy doing research in your area of expertise, perhaps you should pursue a PhD. You will start out as a research assistant or trainee research worker. Check the

two-years Master's Programmes

The best way to find a research traineeship is to contact the professor in the field you want to specialise in. Another option would be
