Micro-credentials & Micro-programmes Micro-credentials & Micro-programmes ========================================== Micro-programmes and modules ---------------------------- CIVIS micro-programmes allow you to **combine multiple CIVIS courses or modules into one coherent learning pathway** which reinforces or complements their main study programme. By choosing a micro-programme, you can build your own curriculum and follow your own interests, deepening your knowledge in one of the five CIVIS areas or going broader with transdisciplinary options. The programmes are organized for students at all levels (Bachelor, Master, or Doctoral), so you are sure to find the opportunity that fits! **This approach is a viable way to give students access to:** - collaborative monodisciplinary modules in one subject - extra-curricular topics and transferable skills - transdisciplinary coursework on a challenge-oriented theme (for example in the CIVIS Hubs) ### Advantages of this format Thanks to the use of **virtual, blended and physical mobility**, you can create your own flexible micro-programme without the barriers that often limit participation in traditional courses, especially those at European level. Considering that a micro-programme is designed and delivered jointly by different universities from the CIVIS Alliance, these mobility options will open up new learning experiences, innovative pedagogies, cultural exchanges, multilingualism, and connections with other students across the CIVIS Alliance. Micro-credentials ------------------ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/dscf1359-990x_.jpg?token=87ac3b719fc5479199984c40c74e7333) We all need to continuously enhance and refresh our skills and compentecies. As we seek to become relevant in the job market, micro-credentials provide a flexible way of following **smaller, certified learning experiences.** Think of a micro-credential as a *mini qualification* that proves you’ve mastered a specific skill or area of knowledge. It’s flexible, portable, and designed for real-world needs—whether you’re a student, a professional, or a lifelong learner. Each micro-credential is assessed against clear standards, belongs to you, and can be shared or combined into bigger qualifications. They are useful for boosting your CV, advancing your career, or exploring new interests. **CIVIS has been exploring this educational format and a new wave of micro-credentials is on the way!** ![](https://civis.eu/build/assets/circle-07-COrlhHVd.svg) ![](https://civis.eu/build/assets/circle-05-Dj7Wr3Es.svg) ![](https://civis.eu/build/assets/circle-12-DCoFnra7.svg) Check out the CIVIS offer --------------------------- **See our** [**micro-programmes**](https://civis-agora.widening.eu/civis-micro-programmes)**, modules &** [**micro-credentials**](https://civis-agora.widening.eu/micro-credentials) **offering.** [Explore](https://civis-agora.widening.eu/civis-micro-programmes) What's new in CIVIS? --------------------- - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/random-sizes-for-galleries-website-photos-1-800x600.jpg?token=77f645082e58cf18f4ff5b333c9bf163)CIVIS Student Ambassadors Take Centre Stage in Newsroom Pilot Communication and Dissemination 22 June 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/civis-student-ambassadors-take-the-lead-inside-the-newsroom-pilot-project) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/random-sizes-for-galleries-website-photos_1-800x600.jpg?token=33168b8e80d9bd46f0f2e14c6da7a607)CIVIS Days 2026: Turning Seven Years of Cooperation into Collective Impact Communication and Dissemination 17 June 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/civis-days-2026-turning-seven-years-of-cooperation-into-collective-impact) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/website-horizontal-photos-800x600.jpg?token=d97cb41058d3762a3bf0b56c2f5ddbd2)Ancient genomes reveal the unique history of the extinct cave lion CIVIS Highlights 15 June 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/ancient-genomes-reveal-the-unique-history-of-the-extinct-cave-lion) [Discover all our stories](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
