Micro-credentials at University of Galway

University of Galway has a wide range of micro-credentials available for Semester 2 (January 2025). Micro-credentials are short, accredited modules for professional development and are innovative in their approach to life-long learning.

They are offered online, face-to-face, or through blended learning (a combination of both). So whether you want to upskill, reskill, or discover a skill you never knew you had, micro-credentials are a great way to stay ahead.

Currently, we have micro-credentials available across various subject areas such as Sustainability, Business, Languages, Health Promotion and many more…
