Micro Credentials - Build Up Your Key Skills!

Micro Credentials are compact, certified qualifications for doctoral students that allow you to build up and make visible key transerable skills. You can acquire these by attending workshops as part of our Doctorate plus qualification program. You can choose from four areas of competence: Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Leadership & Management, Research Ethics & Integrity and Resilience & Well-Being.

The practice-oriented content can be flexibly combined and individually integrated into your doctoral phase - for a tailor-made profile building. You can apply for a micro credential in the form of a certificate if you have successfully completed at least four workshops from one area of expertise. This allows you to systematically add key future skills to your professional expertise and show potential employers what skills you have.
