Short, practical university courses that fit into your work schedule
Do you want to build your skills, change career paths, or understand a topic that’s shaking up your field? There’s no need to enroll in a long program.
UNamur’s microcertifications are short courses focused on a specific field. They’re taught by faculty members and industry professionals. You’ll walk away with skills you can put to use the very next day, backed by the rigor of a university education.
What is a microcertification?
This is a short-term university program focused on specific skills. Your learning is assessed, and your completion of the program is recognized by the University of Namur.
Adds value to your academic journey
The training hours, combined with supplementary work, may be awarded a number of credits specified on each microcertification’s page, subject to the committee’s approval.
Please note
The microcertification does not confer any academic degree and does not carry the legal rights reserved for such degrees.
