Continuing education courses are non-degree study programmes with fixed curricula. They are part of the further training offered at the University of Innsbruck. In order to be admitted to a continuing education course, students must have completed a study programme or be able to prove experience working in the relevant field. Lectures are generally held in the evening or at weekends in order to give working students the chance to attend continuing education courses. Students attending continuing education courses must pay course fees. These fees reflect the actual cost of running the course.
