Education
Part-time courses/ Continuing educationPart-time courses/ Continuing education
Part-time courses (continuing education) aim to upgrade students’ qualification, to enlarge professional attainments and experiences. This education include practical trainings, master classes, lecture courses.
Those courses focuses on the most relevant topics, such as ecology, sustainable development, urbane geography, efficient natural management, tourism and information technologies.
• The most distinctive features of part-time courses, that are offered by the faculty, are as follows:
• Complex approach to education
• Presence of both theoretical and practical courses
• Compilation of individual schedule of training
• Organization of practical trainings and masterclasses
• Availability of international certificates
• Assistance of placing in a job
• Ramped payment of education
