The faculties offer research-based and practice-oriented further education programmes at certificate, diploma and master's levels. The requirements are analogous to those of university education but vary based on the target groups, teaching methods and evaluation criteria. 

All further education programmes undergo regular and systematic evaluations to ensure ongoing improvement and the highest quality offerings.

The Service Centre of the Further Education Academy provides a supportive framework to facilitate these efforts.

The general regulations for further education programmes at the University of Lucerne can be accessed here (German only).
