Our online programs
Innovative programs for rapidly developing professional disciplines
What's a MicroMasters® program?
MicroMasters® programs are graduate-level courses offered to advance your career. They provide deep learning in a specific field and are globally recognised by employers for their job relevance. A MicroMasters® program signifies your understanding in a given field and verified students of a MicroMasters program may apply to The University of Queensland for credit towards a master's degree program.
Corporate Innovation MicroMasters®
The ability to innovate is crucial for business survival and growth in the current climate of rapid technological advancement and changing consumer preferences. Without innovation and entrepreneurship skills, more and more companies are failing when faced with market challenges.
In this MicroMasters program, you will develop the knowledge and skills to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship within your organisation. The program will teach you how to understand, integrate and promote innovation in a variety of settings, including public, private and not-for-profit organisations and research institutions.
Business Leadership MicroMasters®
Business leadership is more than just a fancy job title and a corner office. Effective leadership requires a deep understanding of the organisation, the people who run it, the context in which it operates, and perhaps most importantly, self-insight. By building these competencies, the Business Leadership MicroMasters program prepares both emerging and experienced managers for facing the challenges of leadership.
This MicroMasters is intended for people who are interested in becoming effective leaders within their organisation. This program and capstone project will teach you the skills needed to inspire your colleagues and to evolve your business.
