The E-Learning Center offers flexible learning pathways based on a comprehensive suite of online university courses delivered via distance learning. This system enables international learners to study individual university courses independently and earn certificates of completion and micro-credentials, with the option to accumulate and academically transfer these credits toward accredited degrees, as follows:

This track targets learners wishing to pursue flexible short programs and develop specific specialized skills:
• Course Completion Certificate: Awarded immediately upon successfully meeting the requirements of any single online course.
• Micro-credential: Awarded upon completion of the requirements for a short university program (comprising two or more academically coherent courses); these are classified into three types: foundational, specialized, and integrative.
Second: Stackable Degrees
