Further Education
Traditional leadership training courses often concentrate on administrative aspects and on understanding day-to-day operations (finances, controlling, marketing, macro and micro economics, etc.). They rarely address the specific themes which gain in relevance in exacting situations (decision-making, human factors, information management). The Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) in Effective Leadership is a joint advanced studies programme of the University of Lucerne and the Swiss Armed Forces College (SAFC) and fills a gap in that it trains the skills required for leadership in situations with an acute need for action.
The MAS consists of three certificate courses plus a master module and thesis which build on the content of the certificate courses.
CAS Decision Making and Leadership
CAS Human Factors in Leadership
CAS Information Management and Leadership
Individual Seminars Effective Leadership
*The CAS in Decisive Leadership can be completed as a substitute for the CAS in Decision Making and Leadership as part of the Army Leadership Course FLG Einh.
Providing humanitarian aid to people affected by conflicts and natural disasters is a demanding, multifaceted, and challenging task. In light of numerous challenges – such as time pressure, interdisciplinary collaboration, limited financial resources, and complex team dynamics – the continuing education programme “Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) in Humanitarian Leadership” offers a tailored opportunity for humanitarian leaders.
This joint programme combines academic foundations, provided by the University of Lucerne, with practical know-how and proven field expertise from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
The MAS comprises three Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) programmes and a subsequent master’s module, which includes a final master’s thesis.
CAS in Leading High-Performing Multidisciplinary Teams
