Degree programs for working professionals

Never stop learning

What’s right today can be wrong tomorrow. Knowledge becomes obsolete faster than we would like. It’s therefore wise not to consider knowledge as a status, but rather as a continuing process. In view of this, FAU aims to offer support tailored as far as possible to meet individuals’ needs. One aspect of this approach are the degree programs we offer that can be taken by working professionals. These degree programs are organized in such a way that they can be combined with a full-time job.

Degree programs for working professionals are primarily self-study courses. The lectures and seminars usually take place during the evenings and at weekends. Virtual lectures and seminars are also often available. Degree candidates’ professional work can easily be integrated into the degree in the form of various projects.
