I want to study Oxford’s “English Language and Literature” without going in debt for it. So far I’ve found a couple of PDFs which provide quite a reading list and the course’s structure, but it’s no course content. I’m really curious if there’s a place for what I’m looking for.
I’ve never heard of someone sharing university course material on a tracker or similar for people to download. But have you checked whether there are any MOOCs from reputable universities that are similar to the one you linked? They are often free.
Was very common in my uni. We had our full degree on mega so could read ahead.

It sounds like you found everything you’re going to find without paying for a professor. What you’re looking for is where the money comes in. The professor is the one that teaches you the things you’re supposed to learn, not the books. Yeah, you can read the books yourself, and you’ll get something out of it, but you won’t learn everything you would from a professional, and you have a strong chance to learn things wrong without guidance.
Yes, education should be available to all, but this isn’t the answer. Definitely pirate (school) books, though.
Unfortunately I don’t have enough IQ to study at the required pace nor the money to get in, nor the desire to physically go there. Also I’m not sure if it’s a practice to record lectures there nor if it is allowed for students to download them, that’s why I’m curious if there’s such a resource or if it’s a thing or not. But logically speaking no one in their right mind would go and leak such expensive material. So what I actually want are the assignments and the course papers of course so I can actually get the specific ebooks and read them.
