Advance Your Knowledge: UNISA Short Learning Programmes 2025-2026:
UNISA’s Short Learning Programmes (SLPs) are practical, introductory courses designed to efficiently develop skills and knowledge in targeted subject areas. These non-degree programmes focus on delivering essential concepts, providing a quick and effective way to enhance or broaden expertise. SLPs follow a “just enough” learning approach, tailored to meet specific learning needs or unique job requirements.
These programmes are offered within various academic departments at UNISA and are managed through the Centre for Lifelong Learning, ensuring education that is both flexible and accessible.
In addition to its undergraduate and graduate degrees, UNISA offers a wide range of Short Learning Programmes designed to be flexible, accessible, and practical. These programmes allow individuals to sharpen their skills, gain new knowledge, or explore new fields of interest without committing to a full-time degree programme. UNISA’s SLPs cover a variety of disciplines, offering something for everyone.
From business and management to information technology, health sciences, education, and beyond, these courses are developed and delivered by experienced academics and industry professionals. This ensures that the content remains current, relevant, and aligned with industry standards.
