There are eight schools currently offering micro-credentials on a range of topics:
Each of these schools has put together micro-credentials with today’s professionals in mind. Micro-credentials that explore the evolving trends in each field, that partner with enterprise to ensure responsive skills development and ultimately deliver learning outcomes with real-world relevance. The vision for Trinity micro-credentials in the future is that micro-credentials will be portable and stackable towards a Trinity award.
Trinity is a partner university of the Irish Universities Association MicroCreds project. This project involves seven Irish universities and links to the European policy development environment.
