Micro-credentials Programmes
What is a Micro-credential?
A micro-credential is a focused, university-level learning programme designed to help you develop knowledge and skills in a specific subject area without committing to a full degree.
Whether you are looking to enhance your professional knowledge, explore a new area of interest, or take your first step towards further study, a micro-credential allows you to gain valuable university-level learning in a focused and flexible format.
Micro-credentials are designed for learners at different stages — from working professionals looking to develop their expertise to individuals exploring a new subject or considering a future academic pathway.
Depending on the programme and your eligibility, successfully completed credits may also be transferable towards further study at the University of Reading Malaysia, subject to the relevant entry requirements and academic regulations.
