The Centre for Distance Learning and University Continuing Education (ZFUW) at the University of Koblenz was founded in 1991 and is the oldest distance learning institution in Rhineland-Palatinate. It offers postgraduate distance learning courses leading to a Master's degree, certificate courses, as well as further education through on-campus events. Through the Blended Learning concept, which combines digital and analogue learning materials with virtual and real presence phases, ZFUW enables flexible and practical further education that can be easily reconciled with professional and other commitments.

ZFUW is dedicated to lifelong learning. It supports university graduates and professionally qualified individuals through flexible, modern further education offerings. Under the motto "Learn and earn," it provides a proven study structure that opens up new opportunities and contributes to competence development. The academic further education programs at ZFUW promote personal development and professional success by aligning with the current demands of the job market.

The University of Koblenz, to which ZFUW belongs, combines the four areas of "Education," "Computer Science," "Culture and Communication," and "Material and Environment" in its profile. These themes shape the research, teaching, and knowledge transfer of the university. They are also reflected in the strong focus on teacher education, which plays an outstanding role through the combination of subject didactics, educational sciences, and interdisciplinary profile areas.

With more than 30 years of experience and a comprehensive portfolio of distance learning programs and further education offerings, ZFUW provides an ideal platform for academic further qualification. It contributes to the opening of the university and supports societal change through innovative educational offerings. The connection of knowledge, transformation, and innovation shapes the mission of the University of Koblenz and ZFUW, in order to create positive impacts both regionally and internationally.
