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.
