Coursera

Hi,

I wanted to highlight that there is a site which offers a fantastic range of free online courses, for anyone looking to study something interesting over the summer, some of these courses might also be helpful preparation for the next uni year. I don't work for the site, but I have used it and think its great.

Does anyone add courses provided from this site to their UCAS qualifications? Or is it fine to simply mention it in the personal statement?

According to ucas it should be listed on your UCAS application at your certificates page. However the university of your choice will decide wether or not they would considerate it as an acceptable certificate.

Also keep in your mind that Some uk universities such as the University of Edinburgh also provide online courses on coursera. If they use it, they should accept it.
