Continuing education

Universities provide continuing education that is designed to meet the needs of workplaces, focus on specific topics or target specific professions. One of the key goals is to update and expand the participants’ professional competence. Where possible, continuing education is organised so that it can be completed alongside work or as part of work.

MOOCs

A MOOC, short for massive open online course, is usually openly accessible to everyone. MOOCs offer a form of study that is independent of time and location and is equally well suited to participants looking to expand their professional competence and participants who want to learn for the sake of learning.
