Don't miss out on your special graduation right and join now

As a recent graduate, you are entitled to unemployment benefits one month after completing your programme. This right requires that you join an unemployment insurance fund and that you do so within 14 days of completing your programme. You must apply in writing to the unemployment insurance fund for admission and rights as a graduate. We recommend that you do this just before or immediately after your programme ends (last day of exams).
