Study as a non-degree student

Would you like to take individual courses at NOA without enrolling in a full degree programme? Studying as a non-degree student allows you to do just that – gain knowledge and receive a certificate of completion for individual courses, without the commitment of regular enrollment.

Gain specific professional knowledge and ECTS credits without the obligation of enrolling in a full study programme.

What does "non-degree study" mean?

Non-degree status allows you to attend and complete selected courses from our study programmes without being enrolled as a full-time or part-time student. It is a flexible form of education, suitable for those who wish to:

deepen their knowledge in a specific professional field (e.g., logistics, transport, sustainable mobility),
test whether studying at NOA suits them before deciding on full enrolment,
acquire additional knowledge for the needs of their current employment, without obtaining a formal degree,
accumulate completed coursework that can later be recognised if they decide to formally enrol.
