Constructor Career Symposium 2025

Do I need a Master’s degree or maybe just a micro-course? Will I have higher chances to get my 
dream job if I obtain this certificate? As I have little work experience, should I enrich my CV with 
a micro-degree?

Microcredentials are also sometimes called micro-degrees or micro-courses. And they are 
increasingly beloved. The idea to take a short course and obtain a certificate instead of 
committing for a full degree is appealing – and it can make sense. But for whom? In which 
circumstances? And how can it benefit your career? Will it replace classic degrees or 
complement them?

These questions will be answered at the Constructor Career Symposium. Every year, the Career 
Symposium explores a burning topic related to career or application. It includes a keynote 
speech held by an expert and a panel discussion involving internal and external speakers. The 
goal is to hear different opinions and to highlight various aspects of a highly relevant topic. 

The Constructor Career Symposium is organized by the Career Services Center at Constructor 
University. It aims to foster a constructive discussion about a career-relevant topic and to create 
networking opportunities between alumni, professors, external experts and students.

The event consists of a keynote speech and a panel discussion. Panelists from different 
backgrounds and with various points of view on the topic are invited to share their opinions and 
debate with each other. 

The panel discussion is followed by an open debate with the audience, where further questions 
will be addressed and answered.

Please note that undergraduate students who wish to receive a pass for attending the event 
must register for it via the QR-Code which will be available in the Conference Hall.
