Extracurricular Courses
Extracurricular courses are smaller modules that you can take in addition to, or to complement, your regular degree programme. These are usually worth 15 credit points (CP). They are designed to help you develop your own areas of specialisation or to explore topics that particularly interest you in greater depth.
It’s worth taking a certificate course if you
- want to learn something new
- want to deepen your knowledge in a targeted way
- enjoy looking beyond the scope of your own studies
- improve your job prospects
-

Singing with children
