Our offer for you
Structure of Academic Continuing Education Offerings
Academic continuing education at the University of Stuttgart comprises a range of programme formats and qualification types.
Certificates of Advanced Studies (CAS) and Diplomas of Advanced Studies (DAS) are continuing education qualifications with a strong academic focus.
They consist of several thematically coordinated certificate courses and enable participants to gain advanced expertise in a specific subject area or field of practice.
Depending on the programme structure, they may also include a final project or thesis.
Certificate courses are academic continuing education offerings that carry ECTS credits and are designed to meet university-level standards.
Key features:
- Clearly defined learning outcomes
- Academic assessments
- Modular structure
- Eligibility for credit transfer toward advanced certificates (CAS/DAS) or continuing education degree programmes
- Delivery within established academic regulations and quality assurance procedures
Continuing education courses are academically grounded professional development offerings that do not award ECTS credits.
Key features:
- Subject-specific qualification and skills development
- Flexible delivery formats
- Assessments in selected courses
- No award of academic credits
Modular, Flexible, and Stackable
Many programmes are designed in a modular format and, depending on the programme type, can be combined to earn advanced certificates (CAS/DAS) or credited toward degree programmes.
This creates flexible and stackable learning pathways at university level, ranging from individual courses to continuing education degree programmes.
