Micro-credential in Rekstrarfræði

Rekstrarfræði (business operations) is a micro-credential programme in the Department of Engineering Technology at Reykjavik University. It lasts one and a half years, carries 45 ECTS credits and can be studied by distance learning. Exchange study is not offered. The programme is a short, practical course in operations and business, tailored to people in the labour market. Individuals with a trade qualification, work experience and knowledge of how companies are run are in demand in industry. Students gain general knowledge of corporate finance, economics, financial management, operational analysis, innovation and starting a company, and human resource management, working on realistic projects that draw on the expertise of teachers from industry. The course was formerly called rekstrariðnfræði and served as a follow-on for graduates of the iðnfræði diplomas at the university. It is now open to others, not only holders of a diploma in iðnfræði.
