Certification Programs

Domuni Universitas also offers certification programs, leading to university certificates that attest to the completion of specific training. There are two main types of certificates available: introductory certificates and specialization certificates. Each program focuses on acquiring skills in a specific area, either by introducing students to a new field or by offering a deeper understanding of a specialized topic.

Certification programs are generally shorter than degree programs and are often chosen as part of continuing education for those seeking to update their knowledge throughout their lives. Successfully completing a certification program results in a university certificate, validating the newly acquired skills and knowledge.

Depending on the program, certifications consist of three to five courses and are worth 15 to 30 ECTS credits. Each course includes an evaluation process, allowing students to complete their studies at their own pace. Typically, students have twelve months to finish a certificate program, during which they receive academic support tailored to their needs.

Flexible Learning: Tailored Course Options

Domuni Universitas offers more than 1,200 courses in various teaching languages, including French, English, Spanish, Italian, and Arabic. The general course catalog provides a detailed description of each course, allowing students to select one or more courses according to their interests.

The tailored course option gives students the freedom to select individual courses rather than committing to a full degree program. This highly customizable approach enables students to design a learning path that aligns with their goals, needs, and personal interests.

Each course is modular, meaning that it can be studied independently of other courses. This allows students to gradually build their own academic program, making it particularly suitable for those with specific educational needs or those seeking to combine diverse fields of study. Additionally, this format enables students to explore different disciplines before deciding on a specific area of specialization.

Two Ways to Take Courses at Domuni-Universitas

Students have two options when taking courses at Domuni-Universitas:

1. Courses with Academic Support

Students have access to the Do-Moodle learning platform, which includes various interactive tools such as discussion forums, where they can interact with instructors and peers. They can ask in-depth questions about the course material, access methodological guidance, and receive evaluations. Upon completing the course, students submit required assignments and receive feedback and grades. They also receive a certificate of completion, along with the corresponding ECTS credits.

2. Self-Study Courses

This option provides the greatest flexibility, allowing students to study independently. Course materials are delivered via email for self-paced reading. There is no tutoring or validation of progress; it is purely self-directed learning. This option is ideal for those looking to enhance their knowledge or update their expertise in a specific field without pursuing formal accreditation.

Interactive E-Seminars

Interactive e-seminars are available in fall and spring, bringing together around 15 students under the guidance of a professor. These seminars are typically master’s level and run for about two months.

• The seminars are organized in an asynchronous format, allowing students to engage with the material at their own pace, logging in whenever it suits their schedule.
• These e-seminars are primarily designed for master’s students, but if space allows, other interested participants may join.

European Credit Transfer System (ECTS)

The degree programs at Domuni Universitas adhere to the European norms of the Bologna Process, which was launched in 1999 with the Bologna Declaration. Signed by 29 European countries, the declaration aimed to create a harmonized European Higher Education Area. The adoption of ECTS credits makes the mutual recognition of diplomas across Europe more straightforward, encouraging student mobility and facilitating the transfer of credits between institutions.

A single ECTS credit represents 25 to 30 hours of work, which includes time spent studying course materials, attending seminars, participating in workshops, conducting personal research, preparing for exams, and engaging in mentoring and tutoring. A typical academic year is equivalent to 60 ECTS credits. This system allows for greater transparency in educational requirements and supports students’ transitions between universities throughout Europe.

Enhancing Student and Teacher Mobility

The European norms aim to enhance student and faculty mobility both across Europe and internationally. They promote the harmonization of higher education quality, making it easier to recognize degrees and qualifications across borders. The establishment of the ECTS system is integral to this goal, fostering a cohesive structure that encourages collaboration among universities and simplifies the global recognition of academic credentials. Domuni Universitas fully embraces this philosophy, ensuring that its programs align with international standards of education.

Training Agreements

The training agreement serves as a formal contract between Domuni Universitas and the student, defining the terms of the educational arrangement. This document outlines the course structure, including the duration, course schedule, evaluation methods, the type of degree or certificate sought, as well as administrative and financial details. It also specifies the role of academic advisors, ensuring clarity and transparency throughout the duration of the student’s program.

Participatory Study Days

Domuni-Universitas also organizes Participatory Study Days in various cities. These events offer an opportunity for face-to-face meetings between students and instructors, focusing on specific topics and methodological workshops. These study days are also accredited and provide a valuable platform for intellectual exchange.

Accessibility for All

If you have specific needs, particularly those related to disabilities, Domuni-Universitas encourages you to reach out. The team is ready to provide support tailored to your situation. The remote learning model ensures maximum accessibility, allowing students to study from home, according to their own schedule and pace.
