Alumni Network

How to stay connected with us beyond your studies

At Witten/Herdecke University, we feel a special bond with our graduates. We support our students not only during their studies, but throughout their lives. You can take advantage of the graduate management's networking and further education programmes in the way that suits you best.

It organises numerous opportunities for networking with other graduates.

  • Networking with other alumni, current students and professors,
  • exchange on exciting topics from research and teaching and

This is where mentors and mentees find each other

The LinkedIn group "UW/H Generations Network" serves the exchange between former and current students of Witten/Herdecke University. Here we offer a space to discuss questions, engage in personal dialogue, learn from each other and find support. Students can, for example, look for mentors, interview partners for theses, speakers for events or a contact person for starting a career. UW/H graduates will find exciting opportunities to work with students and find new colleagues in a pool of motivated and well-trained young professionals.
