I havo no clue (yet)

What are you going to do after graduation? Are you unsure whether you want to continue studying or start working? Maybe you have no idea yet or you are afraid to make the wrong choice. Many students struggle with this. On this page, you will find tips to help you make a decision that suits you.

What is your next step?

It may help to sort some things out for yourself first. When deciding on your next step, two stages are important.

In phase 1, you look back on your study career so far. What can you learn about yourself from your previous experiences (e.g. your qualities or interests)?
In phase 2, you look at the opportunities available to you and which ones best match your dreams and ambitions. By examining your own study career and discovering important themes, you are able to make conscious choices that suit you.
