Part-time Master’s programmes
Our part-time degree programmes, which lead to a Master of Arts, offer you the opportunity to specialise in a specific academic field and earn an internationally recognised degree comprising 180 credit points. Thanks to our modular system, you can structure your studies in such a way that you can easily manage them alongside your everyday life.
Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS)
A DAS programme offers you the opportunity to engage in in-depth academic study of a specific topic at Master’s level and to obtain a recognised postgraduate qualification. The DAS programme generally lasts two semesters and comprises 30 credit points (CP).
Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS)
Our part-time continuing professional development programmes are developed using our university’s expertise, with a strong focus on practical application and research. The CAS programmes open up a wide range of opportunities to broaden and deepen your professional skills — paving the way for important future steps in your career and enabling you to explore new areas of work.
University certificates and micro-credentials
University certificates and microcredentials broaden and deepen your existing professional skills at an academic level, thereby opening up new opportunities – no university degree is required.
Training courses for teachers
Our university also offers a range of continuing professional development courses for teachers. In addition to these specific courses, we offer teachers numerous opportunities to visit learning venues outside the school with their classes and benefit from our scientifically proven teaching and learning concepts.
E-learning courses
At our university, we view e-learning as a tool to complement our hybrid and face-to-face continuing education programmes. You can continue your professional development at your own pace, tailored to your personal and institutional priorities, regardless of location or time.
Whether it’s a DAS, CAS, certificate or master’s programme – you decide how and at what pace you want to study. Our programmes are aimed at working professionals across a wide range of sectors and are designed so that they can be attended at weekends alongside your job.
Most of our programmes are designed as blended learning courses – meaning you can study much of the content at your own pace and independently of our Karlsruhe campus!
The relevant contact persons for enquiries regarding course content are listed on the respective course page. There you will also find all the information you need on course content, dates, entry requirements, career prospects and – depending on the course – the applicable fees.
Please direct any organisational enquiries to our Centre for Academic Continuing Education (ZWW).
