It would not be easy to take advantage of this option though. The lack of an undergraduate degree would be a significant obstacle in the majority of cases, even in Britain. This non-standard entry option might work for someone who has a very specific Master's program in mind, and it just so happens that the concrete school program has a history of admitting such students. There's also a bigger chance of entering this type of a Master's program when you already have a two-year national diploma and plenty of verifiable experience in a technical field. Several years ago, I've also heard about the non-degree entrance possibility with a specific U.S. MIT Master's degree; https://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/14/skip-col...ogram.html. There's still a lot of risk involved with such an arrangement. What happens when you drop out of the Master's program? You'll be left with literally nothing except for the Micromaster certificate, which qualified you for a single Master's degree program. It would not qualify you for any other program.
I researched the Supply Chain Management MicroMasters from MIT and it's no joke. You need a bachelor's degree to even be accepted into the program. After you complete the 5 courses which are intense then you have to complete a comprehensive exam which is 2 exams.
