Postgraduate studies – the highest level of continuing education in the Swiss education system
More than 30 postgraduate programmes and more than 100 short courses: The University of Basel offers academics in employment the option to expand their knowhow and competencies with a direct connection to the business world and international developments in scientific education.
Advanced Studies comprise a variety of specialist areas and vocational fields. They are characterised by a continuous exchange of university research, economy and society.
Advanced Studies meet high scientific requirements and simultaneously stand for a direct implementation of the knowledge acquired on the job. As regards their requirements and goals, the programmes are guided by European standards.
Competencies and contacts for one's career
Subject areas, processes and institutions are growing ever closer in the professional
world. Generic competencies are therefore in great demand on top of specialist expertise as a requirement for responsible functions. Advanced Studies attach importance to a learning approach which accommodates this tendency.
Advanced Studies boost the qualifications obtained through training, professional and private experiences to the optimum with skills that are important for new professional tasks. At the same time, continuing education studies open up varied networks for the students.
Advanced Studies cooperate with important partners in the areas of science, business and public administration and thereby ensure national and international recognition of the academic degrees.
