edX

Coursera and edX are very similar. edX is also an online course provider through which you can enroll at courses offered by over a 100 leading institutes from all over the world. It brings university-level courses right to your bedroom! There are courses on a broad range of topics and you can earn a certificate of completition.

In comparison to Coursera, I feel like most of the courses offered on edX take a longer time to complete (around 10 weeks). This means that completing a edX course may require more dedication than completing a Coursera course. On the other hand, you are sure to gain a deep understanding on the topic the course is on, and edX definetly offers a lot of interesting courses! In conclusion, if you have the time and patience, definetly go for a edX course if you find one that interests you, even if it takes several weeks to complete. Overcome your fears and challenge yourself!

Hi everyone! My name is Lilly and I am a high school student based in Germany, where I am currently enrolled in the IB diploma programme. Aside from founding EconIR WEB, I am also the President of JEC Berlin. Being a student who has a deep interest and passion for economics and international relations myself, I know how challenging it can be to find ways to engage with your areas of interest. Therefore, I created EconIR WEB. I hope that through EconIR WEB we will be able to build a strong community of students who share the same passion. Cant wait for you to join!
