Micro-credentials
Micro-credentials are small learning units worth 1-5 ECTS that can be taken as elective courses as part of your degree program. They will transport you on short virtual trips across Europe, giving you the chance to learn with students from other Alliance universities and equipping you with future skills and competencies for a changing world. Micro-credentials are organised jointly by the Alliance partners.
Please contact your study programme coordinator for your individual recognition of the SEA-EU Micro-credential! You may have it recognized in the elective section of your curriculum or have it listed as an additional output to your transcript of records.
English for Professional Purposes
The Language Centre (CLA) and the Interdepartmental Research Centre for Foreign Languages and Literatures (CRILLS) of Parthenope University offer a short-term advanced training course in English for Professional Purposes as a SEA-EU Micro-credential course. This 24h course is designed for students aiming at learning how to communicate properly in the workplace, providing them with transversal written and oral communication skills in professional English. Specifically, the course is structured around all four language skills referring to the B2 level of the CEFR. After a general introduction to English for Professional Purposes (EPP), students will be provided with a comprehensive overview of the main written and oral genres of professional communication in English, including the CV, the business report, and the job interview. Students will also be presented some efficient learning strategies to improve their vocabulary acquisition as well as their reading comprehension skills. At the end of the course an online test will take place. Eligibility to access the final test will depend on students’ regular and active attendance (missing more than two classes will not be allowed).
