Deepen your expertise

Do you want to deepen and broaden your specialist expertise in your field or head for the most demanding specialist jobs? If you already have a university degree and a professional career, this is the right course for you.

Specialisation courses at universities of applied sciences are post-graduate qualifications. They are aimed at professionals who are already in the workplace and who need training that promotes professional development and specialisation. Specialisation courses respond to skills needs identified jointly by universities of applied sciences and working life.

Specialisation Courses are designed for specialists who are heading for more demanding tasks.
