What are Specialist Postgraduate Programmes?
2–4-semester programmes built on existing higher education studies. The course schedules for these practice-oriented, degree-granting programmes are designed to fit the schedules of full-time employees. Their goal is to provide up-to-date knowledge and specialized skills in specific fields.
Who is it recommended for?
- For those who wish to deepen their existing knowledge and advance professionally.
- For those seeking new, up-to-date, and immediately applicable knowledge for their current job.
All of our programmes build on some qualification from higher education and some professional qualification (without changing the existing higher education qualification level).
Apply for our programmes starting in September 2026!

The title depends on your existing degree. If your undergraduate or master’s degree is in economics or business administration, your specialised diploma will carry the title “Economist.” If your prior qualification is in a different field, the title will instead be something like “Manager,” “Expert,” or “Consultant,” depending on the specific programme.
Most programmes run as part-time courses, with classes typically held on Fridays and/or Saturdays every two weeks. Classes are delivered in small, interactive groups and require in-person attendance, since the training is designed to be practice-oriented.
