Our take
Enabling education providers to offer students anything from free courses to full degrees, the leading global online learning platform 2U has positioned itself to provide high-quality education at scale.
Following its acquisition of edX, the company has made edX the face of its products and services, taking on more of a parent company role. This acquisition was a major shift compared to the company’s typical focus on partnering with universities to offer master’s degrees. However, edX has enabled it to expand into other projects, providing its 230+ partners with thousands of digital education offerings.
2U has established itself as a leader in the space, with over 40 million learners using the platform. As the online education space continues to grow, 2U is set to both benefit from this growth as well as playing a part in driving it forward. Interestingly, in 2022 it was rumoured that Indian online education provider Byju wished to acquire the company, but this appeared to fall through later in the year.
