Continuing education
Weiterbildung_2560px.jpg

Practice-oriented continuing education for Life Sciences specialists and executives.

Update your expertise with our continuing education programmes in Life Sciences, ranging from environmental protection and pharmaceutical management to diagnostics and regulation, and benefit from our practical training.
Our programmes are aimed at university graduates and individuals with equivalent qualifications.


The main topics of clinical affairs, regulatory affairs and quality assurance for medical devices & in-vitro diagnostics were presented in an exciting and multifaceted way. It was great to have so many different lecturers who have all had profound experience in the industry. I also found it very helpful that we had interactive exercises on each day of the course, where we could directly apply and try out the things we had learned. In addition, the class size of around 15 people was perfect, as was the fact that the participants had such a variety of backgrounds. This made it possible to learn from each other in the exercises and discussions, and to get an insight into how problems are solved in other companies. For these reasons, I can strongly recommend the CAS CARAQA programme to anyone who is active in this field.
