This is a Micro-Masters program on Circular Economy offered by Wageningen UR. It consists of three shorter courses: From Fossil Fuels to Biomass: A Chemistry Perspective; Circular Economy: An Interdisciplinary Approach; Economics and Policies in a Biobased Economy.

This program covers a very wide variety of topics, looking at the concept and application of Circular Economy from different angles. It offers a well-rounded, multidisciplinary perspective, using sciences and humanities together for a deeper understanding of the topic. If you are interested in Circular Economy, this would be a good choice to start.

While edX offers free access to course materials, the completion of the Micro-Masters could aid prospective students in applying for full-time on-campus graduate-level programs, be it Wageninged or other universities.

Economic theory must distinguish between publicly owned and privately owned property if it is to account for the effect of institutions on the behavior of individuals. Careful study of the theories of Marxists and the real-world experience in the Soviet economy offer important lessons and insight for economic modeling and the ongoing development of theory. In this course, Marxist/Leninist theory and Soviet reality will be studied with an open mind, and with the goal of taking lessons from the case study. To what extent was the Soviet economy an accurate expression of Marxist theory? If Marxism were tried somewhere else would the results be the same?
