Open UAS and Continuing Studies offer the chance to deepen your expertise or learn something new, through short courses or longer programmes. We also welcome our partner universities’ students, who can spend a semester or academic year with us as exchange students. Some of our degree programmes also offer the possibility of obtaining a double degree. |
