The University of London announced the launch of fully online postgraduate microcredentials for learners in Malaysia on April 8.

The microcredentials are available through the University of London’s Global Digital Campus. Learners can start at any time and study at their own pace. They carry 15 postgraduate credits each and can be stacked towards a recognised postgraduate qualification or transferred into University of London degree programmes.

Eight microcredentials are now offered. Three focus on financial management with academic direction from UCL. Five focus on global supply chain management with oversight from City St George’s. The programmes are available at an introductory price.

Professor David Latchman CBE, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of London, said the microcredentials allow learners to study what they need, when they need it, from wherever they are.

Assessments are delivered on demand. No complex application process, fixed cohorts, or relocation is required.

The University of London has more than 16,000 alumni in Malaysia and over 3,000 current students studying online or through recognised teaching centres.
