In view of the constant shifts in economic focus and the growing relevance of lifelong learning, NIE recognises that working adults may prefer learning through standalone courses that are stackable towards a postgraduate micro-credential.
NIE’s Modular Graduate Courses (MGCs) are intended to be less research-focused and encompass academic as well as skills-based courses, offered at a Master’s level. It allows further enhancement or specialisation of knowledge beyond a basic degree, and provides opportunities for individuals seeking career advancement, a career change, professional development or simply the pursuit of life-long learning.
