Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS)
You are striving for an academic qualification in museum work?

At museOn, a CAS corresponds to a total of 12 credit points (CP) and requires a study investment of some 300 hours (incl. private study). The CAS comprises two modules, which are for the most part freely combinable. They are suitable for part-time study and, apart from on-line phases, include two or three attendance sessions per semester as well as project work. The CAS starts with an obligatory introductory course (propaedeutics) that requires a weekend attendance. A CAS is so designed that it can be studied in one semester. Please, ascertain the attendance dates and plan for sufficient free time from professional and private commitments to be able to cope with the additional learning demands.
