Continuing Education International Cultural Management in Transition: Course of Study

Distance-learning cultural management programme

A key aspect of the certificate is honing your practical skills. An integral part of the programme are case studies and projects in which you develop solutions to real scenarios in global practice. This way you also get the opportunity to raise and explore problems from your everyday work. Students are therefore not just learners but also share their knowledge of practice with others on the course.

Discussions, group work and interdisciplinary projects further promote the exchange of knowledge. Teaching staff with experience in international roles and experienced culture managers for example from the Goethe-Institut will provide valuable practical insights.
