What is a micro-credential?

Micro-credentials are short, accredited, flexible, industry-aligned courses. They aim to address many of the barriers to life-long learning and enable learners to successfully balance further study with work and other commitments. All UCD Sutherland School of Law micro-credentials are level 9 accredited courses and when you complete a UCD micro-credential you acquire university credit (ECTS).
