Extension Programs

Firstly, working persons may be admitted to the Master's or Doctoral programs by taking entrance examinations. Most academic departments also provide professional courses to train, under special agreements, those who are recommended by their employer. Secondly, the University offers summer programs to high school teachers who wish to keep up with the current developments in various academic programs.

Several academic departments also offer different short-term training courses.
