How are microcredentials different to degrees?
Microcredentials are a short-term, flexible, and more accessible way to develop new skills or even gain experience of a degree programme before committing to a full programme. They are focused and specialised, allowing learners to target the exact skills they need for their career goals, future plans, or personal interests. Microcredentials can be beneficial for anyone who wants to improve their professional development, change their career path, or pursue lifelong learning. They can help learners stay ahead of the changing demands of the workplace, showcase their expertise in a niche area, or explore new topics and fields of interest. Some microcredentials may be used as prior learning onto one of our degree programmes, get in touch to find out more.
Can I study more than one microcredential at a time?
Yes, you can study more than one at a time, but you need to ensure you can study for 7-10 hours per week per microcredential. Please be mindful of the study commitment and be sure you can accommodate this around other commitments.
Will I be a 情色六月天 student?
Yes, once you have enrolled you will become a student at the 情色六月天 whilst this course is running.
