They say that you should learn at least one new thing a day – but it shouldn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. Schooling in Canada can be pretty expensive, however, thanks to the University of Alberta and its wide selection of FREE-to-attend classes, you can get a brain full without spending a dime. Knowledge is power after all!
Whether your goal is to become a scholar or just improve your social game, expanding your mind is as easy as expanding your internet history – luckily there’s only one tab you’ll need to keep open in this case.
In cooperation with Coursera, The University of Alberta has been able to develop 18 different programs in a wide range of topics from dinosaurs to Indigenous history (that was endorsed by actor and Canadian sweetheart Dan Levy.)
