Heine Center for Academic Further Education

Academic Further Education

Academic further education are academic courses for professionals who  already obtained a university degree or vocational education. Learning can take place in individual workshops or entire continuing education courses customized to working professionals. The further education courses take place at university qualification level; i.e. contents can be complex and cover aspects from theory to practice. Lecturers are experts in their field and teach scientific knowledge and methods.

Academic further education was established in the 1970s in Germany, where it is incorporated into higher education legislation as a responsibility of universities. Since then, centres for academic further education have supported their universities in the organisation and implementation of these further education courses.
