LIFE stands for “Lernen,” “Individuell,” “Flexibel,” “Erfolgreich” (learning, individual, flexible, successful). The courses on offer will be tested further in the coming winter semester and therefore still be free of charge. Several information events will held in August and September to present the program. Currently, the module courses are offered in the following subject areas: “Informatik und Digitale Medien” (Computer Science and Digital Media), “Energiesysteme, Verfahrenstechnik und Luftfahrttechnik” (energy systems, process engineering, and aviation technology), and “Gesundheit und Pflege” (health and care). They are aimed at qualified employees who want to stay up to date in their professional field and acquire additional skills.

From Module to Certificate with the Modular System

The LIFE module courses allow those interested to use selected modules from university teaching for their individual adult education. Thanks to the modular system, the study program can be expanded step-by-step until the certificate is awarded. A comprehensive advisory service supports those interested in the selection and planning of their study program.

Participation is still free of charge in the trial phase. In addition to fulfilling the admission requirements, the participants need only be willing to evaluate the courses. In return, they can expect high-quality adult education in line with current science and research, and an interesting exchange with university lecturers and young students.

Information Events in August and September

In August, the information and registration phase for the winter semester is in full swing. Prospective participants can obtain specialist information at two workshops: for the health and care course on August 22, 2018, from 5 to 7 p.m., and for the Computer Science and Digital Media course on August 28, 2018, from 5 to 7 p.m. On September 11, 2018, an information event on all topics will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. In addition, individual appointments for advice on adult education can be arranged. Registrations can be submitted until September 15, 2018.

LIFE is part of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) project, which, together with the University of Bremen, supports the opening of higher education institutions to new target groups.
