Information and Communication Technologies

At UPC School, we support professionals throughout their careers. Now, we are embracing a new model: university microcredentials, short training programs designed to update and expand specific knowledge and skills.

This is a much more flexible educational model that responds to the demands of today's job market and helps accelerate professional growth in a more agile and effective way.

What are Microcredentials?

These are short courses, with a workload of up to 6 ECTS credits, and 100% focused on quickly acquiring knowledge to meet specific professional needs.

University micro-credentials take the form of digital certifications that validate these skills at a European level.

What characterizes microcredentials?

• Flexibility: Choose live online, blended, or in-person methodologies.
• Professional focus: Practical learning experiences with tools directly applicable to the workplace.
• Continuous upskilling: Stay updated with technical and cross-disciplinary skills in fast-evolving industries.
• UPC certified and EU recognized: Europass digital credentials recognized across the EU, issued by Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC).

Funding through the Microcreds Plan:

The UPC School's offering of university microcredentials benefits from special funding through the Microcreds Plan (2023-2026). Promoted by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and supported by the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism (RRM) - Next Generation EU, this plan aims to promote lifelong learning by investing in this new training model.
