Come study with us!

We are thrilled to launch Basel STUDY, deepening our mission to empower professionals and practitioners working to counter corruption and financial crime. In conjunction with the University of Basel, the Basel Institute now offers advanced postgraduate qualifications in 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 essential for professionals from any sector and any corner of the world.
The programmes are designed to boost your knowledge, skills and career. They combine advanced research, real-world insights, practical examples and hands-on activities. You’ll also benefit from valuable peer networking, despite the primarily online setting. A wealth of resources for self-study will be available on the university’s easy-to-access learning platform. This means great flexibility for people with busy schedules.
The academic qualifications build on our existing learning and training activities. These include free eLearning courses on Basel LEARN, training for anti-corruption agencies, and teaching at the University of Basel and elsewhere.
Choose from two postgraduate courses
Discover what really works in the fight against corruption with our first Certificate of Advanced Study programme on Mastering Today's Anti-Corruption Challenges. Develop a holistic understanding of how corruption impacts governance at every level – and gain the expertise you need to safeguard integrity and accountability in your field. The six-month course starts in September 2025.
Asset recovery is key to tackling organised and financial crimes – that’s what our second certificate programme on Combating Financial Crime Through Asset Recovery is all about. Gain a practice-oriented understanding and sharpen your ability to identify, trace, seize and recover illicit funds. Watch out for more details on this course and the start date!
