Innovative learning formats for greater flexibility in time and location
At the University of Krems, you can study while working without having to put your life on hold. Blended learning combines on-campus sessions with flexible online learning. Distance learning takes much of your study experience into the virtual space, allowing you to learn from home or wherever you choose.
These formats create learning environments that adapt to your professional and personal commitments while ensuring opportunities for personal interaction, individualized support, and academic quality. Digital learning platforms, virtual learning environments, multimedia materials, and online resources make it possible to plan your studies while maintaining a strong emphasis on collaborative learning.
Make your studies part of your life, not the other way round.
Take it step by step, rather than all at once
Short programs and Stackable Programs for individual learning pathways
Choosing to pursue continuing education does not have to mean committing to a multi-year program right away. Short programs offer a focused way to acquire knowledge in a compact format and are an ideal introduction to academic continuing education. Depending on your needs, you can choose Micro-Credential Programs (starting at 6 ECTS credits), Certificate Programs (starting at 12 ECTS credits), or Academic Expert Programs (starting at 60 ECTS credits).
Stackable Programs offer particular flexibility: individual short programs can later be combined toward a bachelor's or master's degree. This allows you to align your academic progress with your interests, career goals, available time, and financial resources.

Well organized, from choosing a program to graduation
Student-focused services that allow you to concentrate on your studies
When you study while working, reliable guidance makes all the difference. The Student Services Center (SCS) is your central point of contact for questions about study organization and administration. The SCS supports you with admissions, the recognition of prior learning, and important administrative procedures throughout your studies.
For questions about specific study programs, the respective program directors are your primary contacts. The administrative assistants for your study program can help with organizational matters before and during your studies.
And the campus offers much more than a place to study. Krems provides an inspiring environment, modern teaching and research facilities, and opportunities to connect with others, build professional networks, and grow personally.
A study experience centered on you.
Funding your studies with greater peace of mind
Scholarships, financial support, and predictable costs
Studying is an investment in your future. To help ensure that financial concerns do not become an obstacle, the University for Continuing Education Krems provides information on scholarships, financial assistance, tax deductions, and other funding options. The university also offers partial scholarships from its own budget for numerous continuing education programs.
Tuition fees for continuing education programs include the Austrian Students' Union fee, course materials, and the Study Service Card. The exact fees are listed on the individual program pages. Continuing education tuition fees can also be paid in installments.
Study with greater peace of mind.
The next step is smaller than you might think
You don’t have to know everything right away. You don’t have to know which learning format is perfect for you right now. You don’t have to know whether a master’s program or a short course is the right way to start. You don’t have to know which financial support options are available.
That’s exactly why we offer counseling, information sessions, and program pages with all the details. All you need is an interest in academic continuing education and the willingness to take the next step in your career.
The University for Continuing Education Krems specializes in academic continuing education for people who are in the midst of their professional careers. That’s why your everyday life isn’t an obstacle—it’s the starting point.
