FUTURELEARN
FutureLearn is an online learning platform, an initiative by the Open University, in partnership with 23 leading universities, the British Council, British Museum and British Library to provide learning opportunities that let you:
- experience UK higher education
- gain new skills and knowledge
- explore varied subjects and topics
- discuss and share ideas and with other learners and academics.
How does it work?
All FutureLearn courses are free of charge and are taught in English. Most courses require around 2–4 hours study per week and last six to ten weeks. There are also some short courses lasting two or three weeks.
There are no formal exams, but once you finish the course, you can share a public version of your progress page as evidence of what you’ve learnt.
