University Continuing Education in the Context of Lifelong Learning – Between Diversification and Profiling

By looking at the common understanding of university continuing education, its increasing diversification, the target groups, as well as the current developments and the perspectives for the future this essay tries to show the general conditions of university continuing education based on a survey on the organization and structure of continuing education in higher education institutions. The concluding remarks show challenges for both a strategy of university continuing education within a university, and for an overall strategy of lifelong learning.
