On April, 11, 2013 the Verein der Freunde, Förderer und ehemaligen Teilnehmer des Studiengangs "Master of Peace and Security Studies (M.P.S.)" an der Universität Hamburg e.V. held its annual Jobday for the current students of the „Master of Peace and Security” program. Former MPS students spoke about the employment market and job opportunities in their field of work - Christoph Bleis (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH), Daniel Holler (Internationale Gesellschaft für Menschenrechte), Anna-Karina Bayer (Geneva Centre for Security Policy), Franziska Baumann (Klaus Brandner office in Berlin), Katarzyna Kubiak (Internationales Parlaments-Stipendium des Deutschen Bundestages) and Patric Salize (International Organisation and talk with Maike Christiansen from UNECE). Beyond that and for the first time since the beginning of the Jobday series, a presentation was given on Ph.D programs. Dr. Wolfgang Röhr from the Department of Research Management and Funding at the University of Hamburg elaborated on the benefits and disadvantages of doing a Ph.D. The Jobday is organized annually and aims at exchanging experience with former MPS students on employment opportunities in the field of peace and security.
