CAS programmes differ from (specialist) courses and seminars in two significant ways:

  • A CAS programme is worth at least 10 ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer System) and has a corresponding curriculum and workload (10 ECTS roughly equate to 250-300 hours of study). CAS programmes take between six months and one year to complete.
  • While a Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) is a recognised degree in its own right, it is also a potential building block for a consecutive Master of Advanced Studies (MAS).
