With an undergraduate certificate, you can develop specific skills and knowledge in a particular field without having to pursue a full bachelor’s degree. This recognised qualification is taught at the bachelor’s level but takes only a few months to a year. In most cases, education is offered part time, online or in the evenings, making it easy to combine with your work or family life.

A graduate certificate is a short, advanced programme designed to deepen specific knowledge and skills after a bachelor’s degree. It offers a flexible and focused way to expand your expertise without the time and expense of a full graduate degree.

A microcredential is a digital certificate; a quality label acquired through short courses or training modules. Typically these are designed to help you quickly pick up new knowledge, refresh your skills or acquire new competences. Combining different microcredentials is a convenient way to continue to meet the demands of a rapidly changing labour market.
