We have just finished launching our courses for Hilary term (well we are Oxford), which has seen over 1500 students take 60+ courses. Now we can start thinking about Trinity, for which we have a fantastic selection of online courses for you to enjoy, with two new courses to tell you about here.
For those of you who are interested in economics and business you may want to explore our new course Employee Ownership for the 21st Century which will help you explore the concept of employee ownership or cooperative businesses, and decide for yourself whether the Employee Owned Company is the most significant development in corporate life for 150 years and offers the chance to address the destabilising ills of capitalism? This course takes a truly global perspective with contributions from leaders in the field from the Netherlands, Australia, and the USA and in developing it we were certainly convinced it is a contender!
For those of you who want to look even further away then our new course Exploring the Universe should satisfy your requirements. Co-authored by Chris Lintott from The Sky at Night, this course aims to answer the questions How old is the Universe? How unusual is the Solar System? How will it all end? and so much more. By the end you will be able to talk confidently about Goldilocks planets and will have plenty of chances to participate in real astronomical discovery by engaging with projects from zooniverse.org and more.
As with all our courses,these give you a chance to study with a small cohort of students, supported by an expert tutor, with access to the best information and resources to be found across the web, books, journals and more, making for a rich and engaging online learning experiences wherever you are in the world.
