Micro-credentials are official recognitions of specialized skills and knowledge acquired through professional experience, study, or practical application. By completing specific short courses or validating prior learning, these credentials provide a concise and effective way to highlight and affirm professional expertise and achievements.

At UNIMAS, lecturers have the opportunity to create micro-credential courses either from accredited academic programs or as unique standalone courses. Participants will receive a Micro-Credential Certificate along with a Digital Badge as a modern and compact way to acknowledge professional accomplishments.

There are two types of Micro-Credentials that can be implemented in UNIMAS:

These courses are derived from existing accredited programs offered by UNIMAS and must maintain:

• The same module structure
• The same title as the original course
• The same or equivalent assessments
• The same credit value as the accredited program

These independent courses are designed to address specific industry or learner needs, offering:

• Flexible content tailored to the target group
• Full design autonomy for course developers, including control over course format, teaching methods, assessment types, and learning resources
• Creative and modern teaching strategies that enhance engagement while maintaining alignment with learning objectives and outcomes.
• No formal credits assigned, but learning hours are clearly stated (a minimum of 1 credit hour is recommended)
