Guidelines when taking a MOOC/Online course
- Consult with your supervisor first before enrolling into a MOOC/Online course that you want to use as part of your DE programme.
- Courses should be on an intermediate or advanced level, preferably tailored for PhD candidates who already have a MSc.
- Follow courses from reliable platforms with an organized way of quality assurance, like EdX and Coursera (Udemy courses are not allowed).
- Contact your department to see whether they can pay for the possible costs involved (course registration, certificates).
- All TU Delft PhD candidates can get full access to MOOCs offered by TU Delft for free, with a full access voucher. More information on how to obtain such a voucher can be found in the Doctoral Education Guidelines under the heading 'TU Delft MOOCs'.
- To determine the amount of credits, please follow the guidelines in the Doctoral Education Guidelines: 1 GS credit = 12 hours of workload (including self-study).
- There is a maximum of 5 credits for any given course.
- Pursue a certificate.
