Continuing Education Programs
The academic continuing education programs offered by the FernUniversität are interdisciplinary and enable students to complete degrees in addition to their undergraduate Bachelor’s/Master’s program. Certificate courses or modules suitable for acquiring specific skills for study and work can be taken individually. Continuing master’s degree courses in various, partly interdisciplinary fields of knowledge enable students to deepen their knowledge in a specialized subject area and also to pursue a subsequent doctorate.
Many of the courses can also be taken outside the regular enrollment periods and some can be taken alongside an undergraduate degree. The admission requirements and costs can be found in the respective profile. You can print out information on the continuing education courses that can be found in the information booklets linked below.
