Interested in exploring your career options?

In autumn 2027, Career planning in the Humanities (SPL181, 7.5 credits) will be offered as a freestanding course.

Based on the field of humanities – such as linguistics, cultural studies, and literary studies – the course highlights both individual and general aspects of career planning. The content includes environmental analysis, competency mapping, understanding the individual labour market, and professional networking. All of this is put into perspective relative to a changing labour market, providing students with tools to navigate and plan their future professional careers.
