Microcredential programmes

A microcredential programme is a short course with its own certificate, counted separately from the degree. The department runs two such programmes in English together with Chemnitz University of Technology, supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

The key point for a student: no travel is required. The courses are taught remotely or in a blended format, and on completion you receive a separate certificate that makes a fine addition to your portfolio.

What you get

• A certificate of completion from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and Chemnitz University of Technology – a fine line in your CV
• English terminology in the very field you work in – the thing most often missing at your first talk abroad
• Contact with a German research group, which later grows into an internship or a master’s thesis topic
