Career orientation
All specialisations of this Master’s programme are an excellent preparation for a career in research, either at a university, at an institute or at a company. However, many of our students also end up in business or government positions. As our Master’s programmes contain an elective programme, you will get the possibility to gain expertise in your specific field of interest: be it research, societal (Science in Society), management and innvoation (Science Management and Innovation), or education (Science and Education). This is a major advantage when looking for a job, not only because you will have the required practical experience, but also because you will already know your talents and ambitions.

If you would like to have a career in science and research, it is possible to apply for a PhD position at Radboud University. Of course, you can also apply at any other university anywhere in the world.
