Curtin offers a range of short courses through edX
edX is an online educator provider founded by Harvard University and MIT.
edX’s massive open online courses (MOOCs) are short courses that you can complete anywhere, anytime. Curtin offers a variety of MOOCs in areas relevant to today’s workforce.
Free short courses
Some edX courses map onto Curtin postgraduate degrees, so you can extend your learning and earn a postgraduate qualification.
These courses are free to study, but you can purchase a verified certificate which shows you have successfully completed the course.
If you decide to pursue further study with a Curtin postgraduate degree, you may be able to use your edX credential to gain credit for recognised learning, which can shorten the duration of your course.
MOOCs are usually between two – six weeks in length, and comprise subjects within higher-level MicroMasters® programs and professional certificate programs.
