How OERu works
Globally Recognised Qualifications

OERu courses can be assessed towards academic credit through one of our partner institutions, which means that for a fraction of the full tuition costs, you can get formal credit recognised around the world.

The formal assessments are optional – if you’re not interested in formal credit you don’t have to spend a cent.
