MOOC’s

A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is a large-scale course that is taught online. So you are not tied to a location. You work with traditional study materials such as text, videos and cases. You interact with students and professionals worldwide through discussion platforms.

At MNEXT you can currently follow six different MOOCs. You will learn more about the biobased economy and related themes. Students from other colleges and universities, professionals and students worldwide also participate. All courses are taught in English.

What are the benefits of a MOOC?

You learn to work together in a virtual environment and with participants from different countries. You develop skills and knowledge about the biobased economy that are useful during your internship, minor or within your work. Completing a MOOC can result in 1 ECTS and a certificate for some studies.

“I thought this MOOC was great to do, although the subject is not linked to my own training. I don’t think I would have been able to follow this with the classic “offline” teaching method.” – (HBO student)

“I am very satisfied with this course. It really exceeded my expectations. It covers a variety of topics and goes into depth enough. Interesting company videos and articles.” – (Professional)

“It really stimulated me to delve further into the subject. Ultimately, it also helped me with my study choice: it will be Biotechnology in Wageningen.” – (VWO student)
