Do you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland? Did you know you could take advantage of a fully funded place on one of The Open University’s popular microcredential courses?

Designed by our world-class academics, with many in collaboration with leading industry partners, microcredentials are professional development short courses that are designed to help you quickly build in-demand career skills and knowledge. Hosted on our partner social learning platform, FutureLearn, courses take 10-12 weeks to complete.

Supported by the Scottish Funding Council Upskilling Fund and by Northern Ireland’s Department for the Economy’s Skill-Up initiative, funded places are available on a wide-range of microcredentials and postgraduate courses to support learners to reskill and upskill in in-demand growth areas.  You can find out more, see the courses on offer and apply by visiting the skills pages for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Applications close soon and places are limited, so don’t miss out on your chance to stay up to date with relevant and emerging practices, progress in growing industries, and get ahead!
