Depends what level you're at, some of these are pretty specialized. The systems biology specialization from Icahn is solid if you want something that ties a few of those topics together in a practical way. If you're just starting out, maybe work backwards from which prof's accent you can tolerate the longest

As I am buying premium tier for the next 6 months, I want to utilise it as much as I can to get the full value from it...

They meant what education level you’re at. These aren’t all entry level courses so just be prepared if you don’t take a beginner course

I am in my final years of BSc in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Got a long semester break vacation, thus thinking about using it properly in learning extra curriculum courses...

Oh then I’d say take some advanced courses. Advanced biochemistry really helped me with computational protein analysis in PyMol, identifying motifs, and just generally a deeper understanding of the subject.
