About the platform
Leading global platform offering accredited courses and professional certificates from world-class universities and companies.
Coursera is one of the world's largest online learning platforms. It was founded in 2012 by two Stanford professors and offers courses from leading universities and companies such as Google, IBM and Meta.
What it offers
- Short courses in programming, data, business and the humanities.
- Professional Certificates from companies, built for specific jobs.
- Specializations: a series of courses in one field.
- Online bachelor's and master's degrees from partner universities.
Certificates and cost
Many courses can be audited for free without a certificate; the certificate itself is paid. Coursera offers Financial Aid for learners who cannot pay, and applications are usually reviewed within about two weeks.
Who it suits
Students and graduates who want a certificate carrying the name of a known university or company for their CV or LinkedIn profile.
Always check prices and certificate terms on the official website, as they can change.
