What is a micro-credential?
Micro-credentials are short certification courses that empower you to quickly learn new professional skills at your own pace, through online study and part-time in our fully online learning environment.
All our micro-credentials are not just industry-endorsed, but also highly valued and recognised by leading employers in their relevant sectors.
By completing one or two credit bearing courses, you can build up a maximum of 30 points*, which you can credit towards a masters degree or other postgraduate qualification, including our postgraduate diploma (120 points) programmes.
Take it one step at a time by enrolling in one or two courses. This will enable you to ease yourself back into university study while building up specialised knowledge and expertise in your chosen field. In selected courses, you will also receive a digital badge as recognition of your achievement to share with your employer and professional network.
* There is a time limit for transferring credit towards a masters degree or other postgraduate qualification.
