NON-FORMAL AND INFORMAL EDUCATION

NON-FORMAL AND INFORMAL EDUCATION

Non-formal education is about opportunities. Opportunities for self-development and self-fulfilment; for gaining new knowledge and practical experience; for finding motivation and inspiration. And when opportunities exist, they must be seized. The university offers the possibility of recognising learning outcomes obtained through non-formal and/or informal education, as governed by the relevant Regulations.
