Create your Own Personalised Study Plan with Microcredentials
Nowadays, the world is undergoing enormous technological and digital transformation, and talented people with diverse skills are increasingly valued by employers. To meet this new worldwide study trend, the School launched Microcredentials this month, providing more flexible learning modes for working adults.
With Microcredentials, study plans can be made based on the student’s personal pace, time and interests. Microcredentials also allow students to take other interdisciplinary credit courses. After completing their studies, students can accumulate credits to earn a certificate or diploma to increase their competitiveness and develop diverse skills in a well-rounded way.
Microcredentials have three main features:
1. Stackable credits: Students are allowed to accumulate or “stack” credits to earn a certificate or diploma;
2. High Flexibility: Most Microcredential courses are short - around 30 contact hours - and credits are normally valid over a 5-year period;
3. Personalisation: Students can choose courses that best meet their personal goals, professional needs, and preferences, and create their own personal educational mind maps.
In the first phase, the School will launch around 150 Microcredential courses, covering more than 30 themes including: Architectural Studies, Artificial Intelligence, Business Management, Chinese Medicine, Digital Transformation, Chinese Tea Culture, Medical and Healthcare, and Sustainability.
Many of the Microcredential courses are eligible for Government Continuing Education Fund (CEF) support so students can apply for financial help with their tuition fees. Microcredentials are suitable for anyone who wants to progress in their careers, upgrade their skills, change professions, enrich their lives or just pursue personal interests.
