Micro-degree programmes

A micro-credential programme is a comprehensive continuing education programme built around a coherent curriculum based on degree-level courses. It is a right choice if you:

  • need to refresh your professional knowledge because you completed your previous studies a while ago;
  • need specialised competencies in a narrow field;
  • want to improve your employability;
  • are planning a career change;
  • want to broaden your professional network.

Micro-credential programmes typically comprise 12–30 ECTS credits. Participants usually study alongside degree students, with courses delivered in a format suitable for working professionals, such as session-based or online learning. Most micro-credential programmes can be completed within one or two semesters. Participation is fee-based.
