Bachelor’s degree programme: opening up to French- and Italian-speaking students

SFUVET’s two degree programmes ‘Bachelor of Science in Vocational Education and Training’ and ‘Master of Science in Vocational Education and Training’ are intended to provide students with the know-how needed to design training programmes that are backed by research, enable the acquisition of real-world skills and are future-oriented. These programmes can be found nowhere else in the world. The Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes are designed to be part-time and begin every two years. The next start date will be the fall semester of 2023. 

New syllabus for Master’s degree programme 

SFUVET has been offering a six-semester Master’s degree programme since 2007. This programme is recognised by the accreditation agency ACQUIN, which means that it meets the highest international standards of quality. In 2022, eight graduates received their diplomas. As highly qualified experts in vocational education and training, they are in demand on the national and international labour market. A new syllabus will come into effect in August 2023. Minor changes suggested by ACQUIN Commission experts will be introduced to more effectively anchor the Master’s degree programme in VET research. Currently, there are 38 students enrolled in the Master’s degree programme. 

Revised syllabus approved 

Since 2019, SFUVET has also been offering an eight-semester Bachelor’s degree programme, which is intended for individuals who wish to professionally manage challenging and innovative projects that combine classroom instruction, workplace training and non-formal continuing education and training. The programme is also ideally suited for those who wish to effectively guide learners and workplace trainers.  

In November 2022, the SFUVET Board approved the revised syllabus for the Bachelor’s degree programme. The programme will prepare students more suitably for the multilingual Master’s degree programme, and it will be opened up for French- and Italian-speaking students. Currently, 29 students are enrolled in the Bachelor’s degree programme.
