FlexiMasters (NIE)
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.
For learners who aspire to further their studies in a relevant Master’s programme upon obtaining the FlexiMasters, subject to meeting the entry requirements of the Master’s programme, they can consider the following options:
- Transfer credits of up to 12 AUs of courses upon successful admission into a Master’s programme; OR
- Transfer credits of up to 16 AUs if they complete all four courses with a minimum grade of at least C+ for each course offered by the FlexiMasters. Upon successful admission into its relevant Master’s programme, participants who choose this option will be required to complete the remaining 14 AUs of courses AND a compulsory 2AU general elective in order to meet the graduation requirements of the Master’s programme.
The National Institute of Education (NIE) has a different requirement for the transfer of credits. For more information, please visit NIE’s website or here.
Registrations are now open on selected NIE FlexiMasters Certificates.
These courses are compulsory and offered in bite-sizes of 1 AU or 2 AUs each. For more information, click here.
