Further training offers Quality guidelines for further scientific training

The future viability of our economy and society is now more than ever determined by the qualifications of its people. Since this is based on the most exclusive possible possession of knowledge and its skilful application, constant acquisition of knowledge and lifelong learning become basic indicators of overall economic productivity progress, entrepreneurial success and social prosperity.

The central goal here is to position itself as a continuing education partner both in the region and nationally and to provide industry and professional group-specific study opportunities, especially for its alumni and other people with an academic background.
