Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS)

A Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) at the HWZ is aimed at professionals and managers who want to deepen their skills while continuing to work. A DAS comprises at least 30 ECTS credits and is therefore somewhere between a CAS and a MAS. The qualification gives you the opportunity to expand your expertise in a targeted manner and to position yourself clearly in your professional environment. The HWZ focuses on modern, practical further education in the center of Zurich.

A DAS at HWZ usually consists of two thematically relevant CAS as well as a final thesis, depending on the degree program. They combine specialist knowledge, methodological skills and concrete applications from your professional practice. The programs are led by experienced lecturers and experts from business and administration.

The content is structured in such a way that you can apply your knowledge directly in your daily work. Small classes, hybrid learning formats and the strong connection to the business world make the DAS at HWZ a modern continuing education program.

Admission is usually based on a university degree or equivalent qualification. Admission “on file” is possible if your professional experience qualifies you for the program. Many DAS programs can later be expanded into a modular MAS at HWZ. This allows you to remain flexible and to gradually build on your further education.
