Microcredentials
Micro-credentials are short, competency-based recognitions that allow you to demonstrate mastery in a particular area. They are personalized, flexible and performance-based.
Enrolling for a micro-credential is possible via the central UGent administration only, not via our academy.
What?
In a rapidly changing (professional) context, lifelong learning has become a must. With micro-credentials Ghent University offers a new type of course for a broad group of lifelong learners.
Micro-credentials are short academic programs that meet the high quality standards of Ghent University. Both in terms of content and practice, the development of a micro-credential is primarily focused on the needs of professionals and lifelong learners. The focus of the program is on a well-defined set of learning outcomes. They consist of a limited number of subjects to which credits are linked. For following a micro-credential, your learning account will be used . If you successfully complete the program, you will receive credit certificates for the individual subjects and a recognized certificate that offers clear added value for professionals and employers. Micro-credentials are organized by the 'academies for lifelong learning' of Ghent University.
