The aim of this university certificate program is to support students in their successful transition into the job market. Achieving this objective requires preparation that enables students to:

• Develop self-awareness and define a career plan
• Prepare for the job application process, including résumé and cover letter writing, interview preparation, and mock interviews
• Understand the expectations and standard practices of recruitment and hiring procedures

* Students may choose 1 or 2 courses during their first year of the Master’s program. They will then have the option to enroll in the Level 2 Professionalization Certificate (DU) during their second year of the Master’s program. They will then be exempt from the Level 2 DU registration fees.

** Project management courses can be taken during the first or second year of the Master’s program.

Career Success Workshops

These three-hour workshops, conducted in English, are designed to support students in their transition to the workforce by helping them develop key professional skills and gain confidence in their future careers. The workshops cover the following topics: Stress Management, Salary Negotiation, Conflict Management, and Assessment Center Preparation.

To be awarded the Professionalization University Diploma (DU), students must:

• Successfully complete the Professional Development course with a minimum grade of 10/20;
• Successfully complete the Project Management course with a minimum grade of 10/20;
• Participate in at least one Career Success Training Workshop (Stress Management, Conflict Management, Salary Negotiation, or Preparation for Psychometric Tests and Assessment Centers used by international organizations).

Alternatively, for a more international audience, you may prefer "University Certificate in Professional Development" instead of "Professionalization University Diploma (DU)", while retaining the abbreviation DU if required for administrative accuracy.

Advance registration is required for certain services. Registration procedures will be communicated at the beginning of the academic year.

Course selection also takes place at the beginning of the academic year. Any subsequent changes to a student's course choices must be approved by the Director of the University Diploma (DU) program.
