The wide range of courses includes subjects from computer science and technology, business and social sciences to media and culture.

In addition to their specialist expertise, students acquire valuable additional qualifications and degrees that are specifically tailored to the needs of companies. This helps to keep skilled workers in the region, and companies benefit from direct knowledge transfer.
