Apply for Short Education and Training Programmes Leading to Micro-Credentials

☰ Meni

In the 2026/2027 academic year, the University of Primorska is publishing, for the first time, a call for enrolment in short education and training programmes upon completion of which participants receive a micro-credential. Unlike macro-credentials (such as degrees and licences), micro-credentials are shorter in duration and focus on a specific, narrower topic. Within the education system, they complement degrees but cannot replace them.

For the 2026/2027 academic year, the University of Primorska is offering 24 education and training programmes provided by six UP faculties and the UP NEBAP Hub. All interested individuals – including students, employees and members of the general public – are eligible to participate. The programmes are awarded ECTS credits, while micro-credentials enable participants to acquire new knowledge and competences quickly and flexibly, which they can also use in further education or on the labour market.

Applications are submitted via an online application form by 15 August 2026 for programmes taking place in the first semester, or by 15 January 2027 for programmes taking place in the second semester.

The full list of programmes, the price list and the official call for applications are available at: https://www.upr.si/si/up–okolje/mikrodokazila/razpis-26-27. For further information, please contact kompetence@upr.si.

We warmly invite you to apply!
