Certificate Courses: Our next Executive Education Courses
Are you interested in leadership, innovation management, strategy and organisational development or digitalisation? But you don't have time for a two-year part-time Master's degree program including a thesis?
The one-week modules of our part-time Master's degree programs and our compact certificate courses on current topics and needs are open to all those who want to deepen and develop their knowledge on a specific topic.
Zeppelin University (ZU) follows the pioneering spirit of its namesake and has stood for interdisciplinarity between business, culture and politics from the very beginning. In a dynamic and complex society, which is struggling to reorganize itself in many areas, more and more problem situations elude a clear disciplinary location.
The most noble task of universities is the advancement of knowledge and science. ZU understands science not as a mere activity or profession, but as an expression of an attitude of mind that is committed to argument and plural discourse. On this basis, ZU combines a strong disciplinary anchoring with an interdisciplinary way of thinking and working.
This includes the granting of freedom of research and teaching and the self-commitment to adhere to scientific standards, but also the critical reflection and further development of scientific methods and practice itself.
