Certificate courses

The work-related academic continuing education programmes of the Continuing Education Unit, which extend over a longer period of time and enable intensive teaching and learning processes, can be certified.

Our continuing education courses are based on a dialogue-based, process-oriented understanding of education. The focus is on imparting specialist knowledge at a scientific level combined with methods of adult-orientated teaching and learning and orientation towards the existing skills of the participants. We strive to strengthen the professional and personal skills of professionals in the various fields of social and health-related work.

This involves the ability to implement acquired knowledge in a way that is appropriate to the situation, to be strengthened in professional self-reflection and to be able to relieve oneself in everyday professional activities.
