Learn from the best: Open Learning resources in 12 subjects taught at MIT, ranked #1 worldwide
Access free selected course materials and full MOOCs for all 12 subjects named world’s best by QS
For the ninth year running, QS World University Rankings has named MIT the world’s best higher education institution. This honor is accompanied by top rankings for 12 individual subject areas, ranging from the natural sciences to computing, engineering, and architecture.
Since 2001 with the launch of MIT OpenCourseWare, the Institute has maintained a commitment to opening up access to its educational materials and resources to learners worldwide. This means that you can access individual course materials and full online courses from the world’s leading educators through OpenCourseWare, and full Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) through MITx on edX. Full access to these courses and materials is completely free.
Open Learning also offers pathways to graduate education through MITx MicroMasters® Programs, a rigorous series of online courses culminating in a microcredential that can be applied to accelerated courses of study at MIT or one of 40 global universities in 25 countries.
