Course Overview

Physics of COVID-19 Transmission online course will resolve the confusion and scientific controversies over the transmission modes of COVID-19 and the most effective protection methods. Candidates will learn about the scientific principles involved in quantitatively accessing COVID-19 airborne transmission risk in indoor spaces using different variables.

Physics of COVID-19 Transmission by edX will explore the different factors that affect the transmission rate and how they react with each other. The program features interview videos that can be understood by learners of all levels. However, an undergraduate-level knowledge in STEM, science, engineering, and ordinary differential equations will allow candidates to understand the course thoroughly.

Physics of the COVID-19 Transmission certification course is a six-week short-term course that requires a weekly study time of five to ten hours. It is an advanced level course in health and safety and is taught by faculty from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. All the lectures and video transcripts are in English.
