University Certificates and Micro-Credentials
University certificates and micro-credentials broaden and deepen your existing professional skills at an academic level, thereby opening up new opportunities for you.
By obtaining a university certificate, you have the opportunity to specialise in a particular subject area and develop into a genuine expert in that field. At the same time, such a course does not take as long as a conventional university degree, yet still provides knowledge at an academic level. Some of these certificates are accessible without a university degree!
Microcredentials are our smallest learning units, which are completed with a university certificate worth 5 CP. What makes this programme special is that these learning units can be credited towards some of our CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) programmes. These, in turn, can be credited towards one of our part-time Master’s programmes. Microcredentials form the smallest building blocks within our modular continuing education programme.
