FutureLearn is a UK-based digital learning platform offering short online courses, microcredentials, bootcamps, and degree programmes from leading universities and cultural institutions. Founded in 2012 by The Open University and joined by partners like the British Museum, the platform allows learners to study a wide range of subjects—from business and tech to arts and healthcare—via flexible, social and interactive programmes. The platform operates on a freemium model, offering free access to course materials and the option to upgrade for certificates and tests, as well as an “Unlimited” subscription granting full access to hundreds of short courses. Learners can often find FutureLearn deals through bundle promotions, subscription discounts, and early-bird offers, making high-quality, accredited online education more affordable and accessible.
