Massive open online courses (MOOCs)
Our massive open online courses – or MOOCs – bring The University of Manchester's teaching to a global audience.
All you need to undertake a MOOC is an internet connection. Unlike other courses, they are free of charge and a typical MOOC lasts six to eight weeks.
After completion, you may choose to receive a certificate of completion for a small fee.
Your study on a MOOC takes place entirely online, through videos, discussions, quizzes, and reading and research activities.
We offer our MOOCs through Coursera and FutureLearn.
