Why MOOC?

If your applying for an apprenticeship or prospective undergraduate, no doubt you’re pretty keen to get a look at the material you’ll be covering over the next few years. By seeking out MOOCs and other free online courses in your field, you’ll be able to get ahead of your fellow applicants or classmates (not that it’s a competition…) by expanding your learning and brushing up on existing knowledge way ahead of the start of term.

Whether it’s an introductory course or a more specialised topic reserved for those already knowledgeable about the subject area, taking a MOOC ahead of enrolling in a full university course is a good way to get to know more about the various specialisations in your field and to discover new potential vocations and interests. It may also help you to convince admissions staff of your dedication and passion for the subject.
