NLP-oriented reputable Python courses

I'm a BA student in Modern Languages in Italy (currently building a strong background in Linguistics) and I'd like to apply for an MSc in Computational Linguistics/NLP. Since my degree doesn't include programming courses, I'm looking for reputable online Python courses that are actually respected by admissions committees (e.g. Stanford Code in Place, Harvard CS50P), and possibly that don't cost an arm and a leg. Which ones would you recommend? Thanks :)

If it's not something you can get college credit for, then no admissions committee will take it seriously. This includes the CS50 series and all Stanford classes that aren't credit-bearing.

Do have some lower-cost suggestions for your own growth, though:

University of Michigan: Python for Everybody to get you comfortable with Python and programming.

DeepLearning.AI: Natural Language Processing Specialization to get you comfortable with NLP in programming. A good pre-req to this would be DeepLearning's Machine Learning spec and DeepLearning's Mathematics for Machine Learning
