University of British Columbia offers dozens of free courses you can take this winter

With the new year often comes the desire to pick up a new skill or two, whether it’s for growth opportunities at work or for your own personal enrichment. And if there’s a new or familiar subject you’ve been eyeing, now is a great time to check out some of the free courses at UBC Vancouver.

A top 40 global institution, UBC offers dozens of free online classes in collaboration with edX, spanning everything from coding to psychology.

While plenty of valuable learning takes place outside of the classroom, it’s inside the classroom where you’re given the full opportunity to try new things, fail, and try again. So you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain by taking a free course or two this upcoming season.

Another great perk of these free courses is that many of them are self-paced, meaning you can work through the material at your own speed.

Here are just some of the free courses you can take at UBC this winter:

Note that there are also a handful of UBC courses currently listed that are archived, but may have upcoming start dates announced. So make sure to check back and stay tuned for more wallet-friendly learning to come.
