- Rather more topic-specific (e.g. marketing manager)

NDS course at a College of Higher Education (NDS-CHE: postgraduate studies in Higher Education):
- Degree: Federal Diploma
- Duration: Usually 1 year
- Subject-specific orientation (e.g. marketing and sales management)
- Final examination: Permanent transfer of practical experience through assignments (practical work, term papers, dissertation), depending on the school also classic final examination. Generally little examination pressure.
