Just sharing with you something that has been remarkable for me over the Christmas New Year Period and ongoing now. I have found by chance on facebook the links to Coursera.org and been completely blown away with the opportunity to study and improve your knowledge base, give confidence and boost your CV. There are short online courses that are showcasing international universities some of the courses are free with the only outlay to be paid for certificate of completion. There are paid courses too but manageable fees......
But how wonderful that though I am strapped for cash I can open the doors on this education and self development.
I have completed and passed Human Rights & Open Societies Utrecht University Netherlands....whilst sat on my sofa with lap top... :-) But was good for this first time experience to be from Utrecht as when I was in the Netherlands I visited Utrecht to meet up with one of the doctors I worked with in Leeds when he was in the UK... He was most impressed that I had found the place..... ik studeerde nederlands marr ik spreken neit zo goed.. lol
very dynamic university and hospital when I was there in must be 1992....now here I am in 2017 passing work on my sofa with my laptop in West London.... Amazing life and its twists and turns on its journey.... !
all pass rates must be 80% and over. So a great booster to me as an over 60 studying again.
The other courses I am enrolled on are
International Law - Leiden University and this is grabbing me it is so interesting. I can now so understand why lawyers build their careers in Law.
Children's Rights - Geneva University is a good course too I am enjoying.
The video lectures are good quality and come with transcripts.. and there are forum exchanges with other internationals students....and you can pace yourself too...
So well impressed... check it out coursera.org
