English translation: advanced correspondence course

German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Health Care / palliative care
German term or phrase: weiterbildender Fernstudiengang
Title of a distance learning course offered by a Fachhochshule leading to MSc in palliative care nursing. Course objective is described as: “Ziel dieses weiterbildenden Masterstudiengangs ist es, einen zweiten berufsqualifizierenden Abschluss anzubieten, mit dem Absolventen………qualifiziert werden, Führungsaufgaben im Palliative Care Bereich zu übernehmen”. The “zweiten” relates to the fact that the entrance requirements for the course are a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or Diplom in the field of palliative care nursing.
I was looking for a concise way of translating “weiterbildend”.

agree  Steffen Walter: Since they are talking about a "weiterbildender Masterstudiengang", I'd definitely include "degree course".
