Higher education courses are specialization and refresher courses that provide for the development of higher-level skills and abilities. These courses are also held in collaboration with public and private bodies and entities pursuant to current legislation and pursuant to art. 2 paragraph 1 of the University Teaching Regulations. Enrollment in training and higher education courses is compatible with simultaneous enrollment in master's degrees, single-cycle degrees, specialization schools and doctorates.
Those who have at least a first-level degree can attend higher education courses. Higher education courses do not determine the attribution of a qualification but issue certificates of attendance. They may provide for the attribution of credits, possibly recognizable in a master's course, provided that they are consistent with the characteristics of the master's degree itself.
