Professional and Continuing Education Programmes 

PACE supports the University’s ambitions by implementing, coordinating, and managing programmes such as APEL.A and APEL.C, Micro-credentials, Short Courses and Online Distance Learning deliveries of specific Programmes. Click below to find out more about which programmes can further support your learning goals:


Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning or APEL is a systematic process involving the identification, documentation and assessment of prior experiential learning to determine how an individual’s learning experiences contribute toward meeting the desired learning outcomes of a programme of study (APEL.A) or for the award of credits (APEL.C).


Due to the rigorous economic demands for constant lifelong learning towards supporting Digital 4.0 skills, an urgency for Micro-credential support is more needed. Micro-credentials are short, professional skills focused learning chunks designed to cater to industry demands. Micro-credentials provide learners opportunities to gain certification upon completion to help support their career goals and employability.


Sunway University offers a flexible and accessible route toward programme completion by providing an online distance learning (ODL) mode of delivery for learners to achieve their academic pursuits. Choose from a variety of industry-pertinent ODL programme line-up.
