Online Courses

This section collects free and low-cost online courses that students can take from anywhere, including courses from well-known universities and learning platforms. You will find short courses, specialisations and certificate programmes in subjects such as technology, business, languages, data, and study and career skills, suitable for complete beginners through to advanced learners. Each guide explains the course provider, what you will learn, the level and expected duration, whether a certificate is free or paid, and how to enrol through the official course page. Many courses are free to audit, so check the certificate details in the guide before you pay for anything. Courses listed here are taken from official provider websites and checked before publishing, following our How We Verify Scholarships page. Online courses are a practical way to strengthen a scholarship application while you wait for the next application round: pair a relevant course here with the funded opportunities in our Scholarships and Internships sections. The newest courses appear first.
