The Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode has joined hands with the edtech platform Coursera. The B-school has announced the launch of four certificate programmes in the fields of business, strategy, marketing, and product management . Each programme is designed as a 6-8 months long graduate-level offering which will comprise interactive learning, including synchronous and asynchronous sessions with IIMK faculty and advanced learning tools backed by Coursera.
Announcing the tie-up, Prof Debashis Chatterjee, Director IIMK said, “This partnership with Coursera will be a great foil to IIMK’s commitment to the 3D’s — Digitisation, Diversification, and Disruption.As the field of education transforms dramatically in a post-pandemic world, this partnership, will provide great value to our domestic and global audiences.”
Programmes offered
One of the special features of these programmes will be the flexibility afforded to the participants by a judicious mix of synchronous and asynchronous content. In each of these programmes, candidates will engage with and be exposed to dominant and trending themes such as digital transformation, data analytics, and more.
“IIM Kozhikode is widely recognised for its distinguished faculty, gender diversity efforts, and early adoption of online learning,” said Betty Vandenbosch, Chief Content Officer at Coursera.
