Personal Counselling and Supervision
There are many questions to be answered before you can choose the best continuing education course — whether a master’s degree course or a certificate programme — for your professional development: Which programme fits your professional biography and teaches the specialized knowledge and the skills you need in your profession? How do working professionals study at DUW? How can you integrate a course of study in your professional and personal life, and how are DUW programmes different from other continuing education offerings?
DUW’s information, counselling and supervision team has the answers! We’ll be happy to assist you at any time with information on all aspects of professional development and continuing education, and on DUW’s master’s degree courses and certificate programmes. DUW is not just a university, but a partner providing a service to its students.
That is why personal counselling by academic advisors and supervision by the instructors and tutors are an integral part of the DUW educational concept. We support you at all times so that you can be sure of reaching your educational goal and shaping your own success.

Trial Course
Perhaps you’re thinking of starting a continuing education course at DUW, but you’re not sure whether the supervised blended learning model will work for you? Or perhaps you have doubts whether the programme you have in mind is really what you’re looking for? If that's the case, there’s no surer way to find out than to try it! DUW allows you to test the master’s degree course of your choice, or the General Professional Studies programme, tuition-free for four weeks. You’ll receive the first study materials to work through in this time and be able to decide for yourself during the trial period whether you want to continue.
