List of Categories and Topics

[RichardDeut752]

Is there a complete list of Udemy course Categories and Topics?  I'm seeing courses with topics that aren't listed on the website dropdown box.

Hey @RichardDeut752, the top-level navigation on the site will display all categories and subcategories, but only the most popular topics within each. There are about 3000 distinct topics on Udemy today, with more added every week. At a certain level of granularity, students tend to find courses via search or recommendation, not by browsing directly to a topic page, so the UI doesn't include an exhaustive list.

If you're curious whether or not a particular phrase is an official "topic," you can try entering it as one on a draft course or on Marketplace Insights. Hope that helps!

Thanks Jocelyn; that's helpful.  Is there anyway to find out if someone has the BestSeller badge for my chosen Category/Topic?  Because it's not a popular topic, I can't directly search for it.

Hi @RichardDeut752, the best way to see the top courses in your Category/Topic is to use Marketplace Insights. There isn't a direct way to search for a Best Seller. Also, not every category/topic has a best seller!
