What is available
A collection of materials from MIT courses for independent study or teaching. Browse and download materials without creating an account or enrolling.
Conditions worth checking
- OCW does not award MIT credit or certificates.
- It is course material for self-study, rather than enrolment in a live MIT class.
- Reuse is subject to the applicable licence. The general OCW licence is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, including attribution, noncommercial and share-alike conditions.
Use the official route
- Search OCW for a topic or course.
- Review the syllabus and prerequisites to judge the level.
- Use available lectures, readings, assignments and other materials at your own pace.
- Download available files for later study, and check licence terms before republishing or adapting course content.
Before you rely on it
Check the provider’s current page immediately before downloading, enrolling or travelling. Read the conditions for your device, location and intended use. Keep a note of any limit that matters to your decision.
A useful next step is to try one small, low-risk task before committing your important files, study schedule or travel plans. Keep an alternative route in case access or availability changes. This is a research overview, not a firsthand product or visitor review.
