About EuroTeQ Micro-Credentials
EuroTeQ Micro-Credentials are short, flexible learning opportunities designed for professionals who want to upskill or reskill in rapidly evolving technological fields.
By bringing together the expertise of leading European universities of science and technology, they provide access to high-quality knowledge and skills relevant to today’s changing world of work.
Micro-credential is a record of the learning outcomes that a learner has acquired following a small volume of learning. These learning outcomes have been assessed against transparent and clearly defined standards. Courses leading to micro-credentials are designed to provide the learner with specific knowledge, skills and competences that respond to societal, personal, cultural or labor market needs.
EuroTeQ Micro-Credentials are designed for engineers, technical professionals and lifelong learners seeking to upskill or reskill. They support people across career stages and educational backgrounds working in STEM, innovation, digitalisation, sustainability and emerging technologies.
EuroTeQ Micro-Credentials cover the key technologies and skills driving the green and digital transition, including AI and data science, sustainable construction and energy systems, battery technologies, biotechnology, advanced photonics, engineering design, and technology-driven business leadership.
All EuroTeQ micro-credentials are offered in English and come in a range of formats to suit different learning needs. The number of ECTS credits awarded varies, with 1 ECTS typically equivalent to 25 to 30 hours of learning.
