For more than 30 years, the Centre for Labor and Political Education (zap) at the University of Bremen has been successfully hosting the “two-year course”. This part-time continuing education degree, which is one of a kind across Germany, offers adults the opportunity to acquire social science education foundations and get to know and develop courses of action for sociopolitical situations in many areas of life. The lectures take place once a week in the evening, on several Saturdays and during three weeks of educational leave.

Acquisition of a Restricted Higher Education Entrance Qualification Possible

This offer of political education is generally open to any interested persons.
