The collaboration aims to create a flexible learning environment and sharpen the students’ digital and new-age skill sets. The courses range from new-age tech programmes focused on data analytics, AI/ML, and cloud computing to digital marketing, leadership, and management. Students will get free access to online educational study materials from Coursera’s partners to promote conceptual clarity and subject-based mastery. 

“The pandemic has accelerated the speed at which education institutions are executing on their digital strategy,” said Raghav Gupta, Managing Director - India and APAC, Coursera. “We are excited to be a part of UNext’s vision to make high quality education available to its students. Our association with Manipal Group goes back a long time. We are humbled by the impact of this partnership and looking forward to the opportunities the broader access to Coursera will create for UNext’s students.”

Students have been compelled to learn in unexpected ways as a result of the country-wide shut down. Change isn't on its way; it's already here, and UNext, through this partnership with Coursera for Campus, ensures that academic processes are not compromised. The students will receive certification from Coursera on successful completion of courses.
