Free certifications with love from Rise
Woooooooo! The 2023 academic year is with us, and to welcome you or welcome you back, here’s an extra-special dose of Rise co-curricular goodness…
We’re funding externally recognised certifications from Microsoft or Adobe for any student who wants them (normally costing as much as £400). Build the skills you need for a great career by becoming an expert in Word, Excel or another Office product. Or perhaps learn media production on Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro or another Creative Cloud app.
Not confident your skills are up to scratch yet? Not a problem. As part of your studentship at Manchester Met, we pay for your subscription to LinkedIn Learning (worth £29.99 a month). There are tens of thousands of video courses to help you hone and develop your skills, and we’ve handpicked a selection to help you upskill.
So hit the new term by taking every opportunity to Rise with Manchester Met:
These opportunities are brought to you by Mcr Met Rise, our award-winning co-curricular programme of projects, courses and other opportunities that add to your degree experience and build your profile – all funded as part of your degree.
We love to make sure you’re recognised for the extra effort you make in your development. As well as amazing experiences, we recognise your achievements formally in your degree profile and help you certify your skills development.
You can also take part in an internal scheme to micro-accredit learning around six big themes, which will help you be more future-proofed. Earn digital badges through combinations of self-study, events and projects. Get started now by clicking on any of the themes below.
