The International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) offers Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) that bring critical insights on global development, social justice, and public policy to learners around the world. Whether you're a student, professional, or curious global citizen — start learning with ISS and be part of the change.
Engagement and Impact through Massive Online Open Courses
Via our online courses we try to engage individuals with the ISS by giving a clear view of our innovative teaching methods that are freely accessible to anyone interested in the topic.
Engagement is a two-way process, with academics sharing their knowledge and facilitating discussions between people holding different opinions. We aim to strategically engage with other academic partners to create multi-disciplinary online open courses.
