Excursion to Alstom Salzgitter

18 November 2025, 09:00 - 17:00 [Austauschstudierende, Incoming Students, International Student Support, Aktuelles]

Behind the Scenes at Alstom Salzgitter: Insights into manufacturing, career opportunities, networking and more.

About 2,000 people work at Alstom in Salzgitter developing and manufacturing modern rail vehicles. In support of climate-friendly mobility, they build battery, hydrogen and electric-powered trainsets, regional and urban rail systems, and bogies. On the excursion organised by the International Career Service, you’ll gain exciting behind-the-scenes insights.

Our day at Alstom begins with a theoretical keynote speech on bogies. Afterwards, you can relax and chat with Alstom Group employees over lunch (at your own expense). We will then take a tour of the production facility, where you will see how theory is put into practice. A special highlight awaits you in the company's own train museum: a brief journey through the history of rail vehicles. Finally, you will receive detailed information about your entry-level opportunities and career prospects at Alstom.

We look forward to an exciting day with you!
