UNISA’s Short Learning Programmes (SLPs) are practical, introductory courses designed to quickly and effectively build skills and knowledge in specific subject areas. These non-degree programmes aim to enhance or expand students’ expertise by covering essential concepts in a focused manner. SLPs follow a just enough learning approach, tailored to meet individual learning needs or specific job requirements.

Hosted within UNISA’s various academic departments, these programmes are offered and managed through the Centre for Lifelong Learning, ensuring flexible and accessible education.

Unisa provides a diverse range of academic programmes, including undergraduate and graduate degrees. Short Learning Programmes are intended to be flexible accessible, and beneficial. They allow people to improve their abilities, gain new information, and explore alternative subjects of interest without having to participate in a full-time degree programme. UNISA offers a diverse choice of Short Learning Programmes in a variety of subjects.

There is something for everyone, from business and management to information technology, health sciences, education, and more. The courses are created and given by experienced academics and industry experts who ensure that the content is current, relevant, and aligned with industry standards.
