Basel STUDY
Postgraduate programmes on anti-corruption and asset recovery
Corruption and financial crime undermine the foundations of our societies – from stalling economic growth to eroding public trust. Understanding their dynamics and how to fight them effectively is vital for professionals from any sector and corner of the world.
With this in mind, the Basel Institute is offering advanced qualifications under a new initiative, Basel STUDY:
The six-month programmes are designed to boost the knowledge, skills and careers of professionals committed to countering corruption and financial crime. They both lead to a certificate from the University of Basel.
The courses are led by experts from our team, the University of Basel and our global network. They combine advanced research, real-world insights and practical examples. At every stage, you'll benefit from interactive, flexible learning and hands-on activities, plus valuable peer networking.
