UBC Launches edX MicroMasters program in Software Development

On February 28, 2017, UBC launched the edX MicroMasters program in Software Development.  This program will offer learners worldwide access to the first three courses in our software development stream.  Learners can try the program and complete the material for free, or for US$925 they can earn a verified non-credit certificate.  Every course in the program ends with a project, so learners will complete a portfolio of projects.   The focus of the program is on developing expert understanding of software development – knowing and being able to work with the common patterns that comprise all good software and development practices, and being able to quickly learn and work with new technologies.  Students who complete the MicroMasters credential will have the option to apply it towards credit at Curtin University.
