Online only
Micro-credentials fail when they are marketing and when they pretend to be licences. This MSc teaches the unglamorous middle: credit, level, assessment, and the student who stacks at 05:00 between shifts. GlobalMind University’s own PGCerts (15 credits, nine months) sit in the same family as this thinking: short, online, English assessment, hubs as support. You will compare frameworks without becoming a statutory qualifications officer. You will write rules for what can stack into a 36-credit MSc and what cannot. You will not print UN SDG icons as if they were accreditation. Seminars rotate. Identity-checked assessment applies to you as it would to the learners you design for. Stacking policy is written as rules: what may enter a 36-credit master’s, how a 15-credit PGCert is recorded, how RPL for remote workers is evidenced, how badges stay off the licence shelf. Short-course calendars must be timezone-fair and low-bandwidth capable. Fee honesty—tuition-free pathway plus exam fees—belongs in learner operations, not in a footnote. You will challenge a logo wall in a peer studio. GlobalMind University will not appoint you to a national qualifications authority. Academic judgement remains human and named.
Thirty-six credits: credit arithmetic, stacking policy, learner operations, and a framework capstone.
