WiHo-career paths

In the WiHo career paths section we ask graduates who have studied one of the presented study programmes in the field of science and higher education research about their current professional activities within or outside of science.

What are the graduates of that time doing today? Where do they work? How can they apply their knowledge in their current professional field?

The interview series starts with Dr. Maria Galda, who was responsible for software-based teaching evaluation at the University of Cologne at the time of the interview (July 2020) and who recently moved to a software company.
