Skills Academy is a soft skills (also known as transferable skills) development program designed especially for students. As the labor market continues to evolve, staying competitive and building a successful career requires new competencies, reskilling, and upskilling. MRU is committed to responding to both student and employer needs by offering opportunities to strengthen skills that support successful career development and adaptability to change.
Since early 2023, we’ve been developing a dedicated platform where you can explore a variety of courses focused on building your transferable skills.

Course topics include:
-
Leadership
-
Creativity
-
Personal effectiveness & time management
-
Career planning

…and more!
Each course is 27 hours long:
8 academic hours are spent in class,
19 hours are devoted to independent self-study.
After successfully completing a course, you’ll receive a 1 ECTS micro-credential in the form of a digital badge – a valuable addition to your CV and LinkedIn profile!
Courses are held in small groups (up to 15 students), led by MRU professors, with guest input from social partners and professionals.
Best of all – Skills Academy courses are free for MRU students!
All information about upcoming courses and registration is sent directly to your student email.
