Is the CAS in phytobenthos also part of a MAS?

Yes and no. In principle, the Certificate of Advanced Studies CAS "Phytobenthos - Aquatic Plants and Algae" is an independent University of Applied Sciences continuing education course and is credited with 15 ECTS if successfully completed.

However, it may be possible to have these 15 ECTS credited as a module on a related DAS or MAS continuing education course.
