Career prospects


A job as... a consultant, a policy officer, an organization advisor...


Private and public sector
The prospects for COM graduates are favourable, with international jobs available in a wide array of sectors. Many graduates become consultants. Others obtain positions within corporations as commercial officers (e.g. in customer relations) or policy support officers (e.g. in internal communications). The non-profit and public sectors also offer COM graduates opportunities in the policy field. 
 
Research
If you have academic ambitions and want to pursue a career in education and research, you can go on to become a scientific researcher. The Master’s degree adequately prepares students to continue at PhD level, which takes four years in the Netherlands.
