University and science management

The University and Science Management module teaches skills for managing and organising scientific institutions. Participants learn how actors, interest groups and organisational units interact.

Governance and university law

The module teaches governance approaches and control options at various levels in universities. Legal, political, scientific and economic framework conditions are covered. Compliance management is also addressed.

Management of studies, teaching and further education

In the Management of Studies, Teaching and Further Education module, participants learn how lifelong learning can be implemented at universities. Against the background of the Bologna reform, it deals with models of university access and the recognition of academic appointments.
