Enjoy free online courses from leading UK and international universities, whenever and wherever you like.

FutureLearn aims to connect learners from all over the globe with high quality educators and with each other.

We believe learning should be an enjoyable, social experience, with plenty of opportunities to discuss and reflect on what you’ve studied, in order to make fresh discoveries and form new ideas.

Courses are delivered one step at a time and are accessible on mobile, tablet and desktop, so you can fit learning around your life, rather than your life around learning.

We are a private company wholly owned by the Open University, with the benefit of over 40 years of their experience in distance learning and online education. Our partners include over 20 of the best UK and international universities, as well as institutions with a huge archive of cultural and educational material, including the British Council, the British Library, and the British Museum.

FutureLearn is currently running in beta. This allows us to shape and refine how it all works as we develop the experience further, using feedback and ideas from our learners, so please join a free course today to give us your feedback and enjoy learning for life.
