What is a university micro-credential

These are specific courses of less than 15 ECTS, access to which may or may not require a previous university degree.  They are based on measurable learning outcomes, assessed on an individual basis.

They focus on specialised subjects, based on the identification of skills shortages in the productive sectors or social needs:

  • Training for highly specialised re-qualification, enabling the updating of knowledge and the acquisition of new competences and skills.
  • Training for reorientation to another professional activity or for the general population wishing to acquire new knowledge, skills and competences.
  • Training for social insertion, insofar as they are designed so that vulnerable population groups can acquire relevant competences and skills to access a first job or facilitate access to higher education.
