Amid the rapid expansion of digital education, our online courses have recently surpassed 90,000 enrollments, a milestone that consolidates our position as a national and European benchmark in massive, open and accessible training in public policy. This figure reflects the trust that thousands of students and professionals place in the quality, scope and relevance of the content we offer.

A collective achievement

The IGOP’s commitment to open and universally accessible education —aligned with the UAB’s strategy— has taken shape through its MOOC courses (massive open online courses), available on the Coursera platform since 2013.

With a total of 90,259 enrollments, this number highlights the programme’s ability to reach a wide audience: from university students, unemployed or active professionals, to people interested in reskilling or acquiring new competencies.

The current courses available on the platform are:

  • Democracy and Public Decision-Making. Introduction to Public Policy Analysis – a key course for understanding how public policies are defined and implemented.
