What comes after university? 🤔
Hear real stories from people who've already made the leap.


Are you studying AI, Data Science, Computer Science, Information Science, or Digital Humanities and wondering what life after university can look like?
Academia? Industry? Government? Something else entirely?

Or: not a student at all - just interested in data science, AI, and careers with real societal impact?

👉 Join us for the Data Science @ Regensburg Meetup - "Alumni Special".


🎓 This Alumni Special brings back our own graduates to talk openly about their paths from university into the "real world" - including what their day-to-day work looks like, what surprised them, what they wish they'd known earlier, and what actually matters when choosing your next step.

🗂️ Max Schmidhuber - Data Scientist @ Bavarian State Tax Office
