In addition to its undergraduate degree programmes, University of Applied Sciences Potsdam offers a diverse programme of academic continuing education. Today more than ever, lifelong learning is a key success factor for professional development, social participation and personal orientation.

Our continuing education programme is aimed at people at different stages of their lives and careers. Whether individual courses, certificate programmes or tailor-made qualifications - participants expand their professional and methodological skills and strengthen their professional repertoire.

The programmes are designed by experienced lecturers from the university's departments - application-oriented, scientifically sound and with their finger on the pulse of current challenges in society, education, culture, design, technology and management. We also work closely with experts from the field in order to combine in-depth knowledge with real-life requirements and experience from everyday working life.

The Centre for Further and Continuing Education (ZEW) was founded in 1995 and has stood for continuous, professional support in the field of academic continuing education for over 30 years. As the central institution of the university, it coordinates the organisation - from development and marketing to implementation and administration.

ZEW is organised as a non-profit commercial enterprise. Its structure follows a clear principle: decentralised professional responsibility - centralised organisation. In this way, we combine scientific excellence with efficient implementation - and create space for new perspectives and sustainable learning processes.
