We will continue our series of alumni talks with a presentation given by Dr. Christoph Langhammer. After obtaining his PhD in physics at MPI CPfS, Christoph started a career in finance and controlling. In his talk, he will discuss career opportunities in this business sector.
There are distinctive opportunities for
graduates in chemistry to seek immediate employment in the chemical industry;
in contrast, however, there is no clearly defined industrial field in the
physics profession. Nevertheless there is a huge variety of interesting career
paths for natural scientists in nowadays. I will introduce the field Finance
& Controlling with its exciting career opportunities. Within a wider
context I will explain classical financial business functions like Accounting,
Controlling and Treasury as well as their integration into generic
organizational structures of internationally operating corporations.
