How to navigate our offers

We offer you a diverse range of opportunities – from short-scale workshops and multi-week courses to full-semester modules. All offers are conducted in English, and most are free of charge.

 

Our courses serve different purposes: some lead to formal academic recognition (ECTS), while others provide specialized knowledge or professional certificates. Before registering, please check the participation requirements, the duration, and the mode of delivery (e.g., self-paced online learning or blended learning formats).

If you are looking to earn credits, please clarify the ECTS recognition with your home institution beforehand. This allows you to decide which courses align with your degree requirements and personal interests – whether you want to gain formal credits, broaden your professional horizons, or develop future-proof urban competencies.
