Quality Enhancement

NON-CREDIT BEARING COURSES

NU supports lifelong learning, one of the key Bologna concepts, by offering a wide spectrum of non-credit bearing courses ranging from professional development opportunities for school teachers to classes for owners of small and medium-sized businesses. These courses aim to enhance personal or professional skills that may be helpful in career advancement. For more information on available non-credit bearing courses, please visit the Schools’ web sites.

The Policy for Non-Credit Bearing Courses offers a common framework for managing the quality of continuing education at NU. The NU non-credit bearing courses are compatible with the NU Academic Quality Framework, relevant NU policies and international benchmarking references.
