Webinar «Micro-credentials at the University: From Educational Programmes to International Opportunities»

On 3 November 2026, an informational webinar dedicated to the development and implementation of micro-credential courses was held, organised by the Center for International Cooperation at Dnipro University of Technology.


 

The event brought together over 30 participants, including academic staff, educational programme guarantors, heads of departments, and representatives of the university's administrative offices. 

Practical case studies, insights, and expertise were shared by: 

• Artem Pavlychenko, First Vice-Rector of Dnipro University of Technology; 

• Yuliya Degtyariova, International Projects Manager, Center for International Cooperation; 

• Olena Linnyk, Associate Professor of the Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering; 

• Maryna Ivanova, Acting Head of the Department of Management. 

 

During the session, the experts thoroughly examined the essence of the concept and clearly distinguished what qualifies as a micro-credential from what falls outside this category. The speakers explained the key differences between such courses, traditional academic disciplines, and standard certificates. They highlighted the role of micro-credentials as a strategic instrument for lifelong learning and institutional development. Furthermore, they outlined prospects for creating joint programmes with international partners, procedures for the mutual recognition of learning outcomes, and concrete steps to launch relevant courses at the departmental level. 

We thank our colleagues for their active participation and joint efforts towards scaling up international educational opportunities!
