Supplementary and additional qualifications
Postgraduate Program in Adult Education
The ZFM was significantly involved in the development and implementation of the Postgraduate Program in Adult Education and contributes with various courses to the curriculum of the supplementary qualification. The increasingly changing and more complex social transformation processes make lifelong learning in adulthood necessary - also due to migration movements. In this context, there is the increasing necessity of a further professionalization in adult and continuing education in the context of an academic training that adequately prepares for specific task and fields of activity in a pluralistic society.
The KU’s Postgraduate Program in Adult Education provides interested students and adults who are already in employment with the opportunity of a comprehensive pedagogical further qualification. One focus of the program is on shaping and enabling lifelong learning in a diverse society. The program therefore also explicitly offers migrants and refugees the opportunity for further qualification in the field of adult and further education.

Supplementary Program “Sustainable Development”
Climate change, flight, global injustice, digitalization, globalization, loss of biodiversity – all these (and many other issues) are closely linked to the challenge of sustainable development. That is why the ZFM is involved in the design of the supplementary program “Sustainable Development.”
The supplementary study program in Sustainable Development gives you the opportunity to approach questions of the future in detail during your studies at the KU and link these fields to your study program. In doing so, knowledge as well as key skills for your future professional career and for the co-design of sustainable development can be acquired.
This supplementary program is open to all KU students from their 3rd Bachelor’s semester and offers a broad range of electives that allows the students to choose their specialization, e.g. in the area of flight and migration, individually. This is done by taking courses of the ZFM and the academic chair of Flight and Migration Studies. Among others, the modules "Basic Module Flight, Migration, Society" and "Education, Upbringing and Family" (each starting in the 5th Bachelor’s semester) can be taken.
