CAS – Certificate of Advanced Studies

Take a targeted approach to building up your competences for a particular professional application.

The 250+ CAS continuing education programmes offered by the FHNW deliver well-founded and practice-oriented knowledge in a compact form. These subject-specific programmes are the basic building blocks of the continuing education offering in the Advanced Studies area. Often part of a MAS or DAS programme, they can also be attended individually. CAS programmes yield at least 10 ECTS points and are based on a skills profile. They take around six months to complete at the FHNW and conclude with a certificate.

A CAS continuing education programme at the FHNW offers:

  • An extensive, tailor-made selection of offerings
  • Targeted development of your skill set
  • First-class lecturers with direct experience of professional practice
  • A boost to your know-how based on the latest scientific findings
  • A recognised qualification for your professional development
