Flexible learning. Focused results.

In a rapidly evolving world of work, continuous learning isn’t optional. It’s essential. But not everyone can commit to a full postgraduate degree. That’s where microcredentials come in.

Designed for busy professionals, King’s microcredentials are short, targeted modules that deliver the same academic rigour as our full postgraduate programmes without the long-term commitment.

Focused learning. Immediate impact.

Each microcredential is a standalone module from our postgraduate portfolio, taught by the same leading academics who teach our degree programmes. You’ll gain up-to-date, industry-relevant knowledge you can apply right away.

Customise your learning journey.

Pick modules across disciplines or specialise in a specific field. Whether you're deepening your expertise or exploring a new area, microcredentials give you the flexibility to build a pathway that aligns with your goals.

Learn on your terms.

Fit learning around your schedule, with options to study online or on campus. Our microcredentials are designed to work around your life and career—no career break required.

King’s microcredentials are ideal for professionals across the public and private sectors who want to:

• Upskill for current roles
• Prepare for a promotion or career change
• Explore a new field without committing to a full degree
• Build a personalised portfolio of learning

Whether you want to enhance your CV, sharpen a specific skillset, or stay current in your industry, microcredentials are a smart, flexible way to invest in your future.

You’ll find everything you need to know about entry requirements on each module web page. Typical entry requirements are:

• A 2.2 honours degree or international equivalent
• A CV and personal statement outlining your reasons for study
