Professional development courses
Professional development courses are short courses on specific topics not included in the scope of the traditional university offering, designed for workers who wish to deepen their skills in specialist areas linked to their professional activity.
These courses are also intended to complement university education on up-to-date and innovative topics and are structured in such a way as to meet the teaching and organisational needs of those already engaged in the world of work through a flexible offering, both in the delivery methods and in the presentation of the topics.
At the end of these courses, participants are awarded a certificate of course completion and the micro-credential, that is, a digital certification of the skills acquired. To be admitted, a secondary school leaving qualification is required.
Course descriptions are available on the Unipd Executive Learning - UEL portal.
