While most courses are offered with an option to learn for free, some premium courses are only offered on a paid-for basis. These courses are designed for professionals looking to advance their careers and learn with a smaller group of like-minded individuals.

All FutureLearn courses happen online at futurelearn.com.

Courses are available from midnight on Mondays (00:00 UTC) on the day shown on the course page. Each week contains several activities built from a sequence of straightforward steps. Each week is given a descriptive name, so you know what to expect. You can move through the weeks at your own pace.

Once a course has started, you will be able to access the course material and study at any time you like.  You don’t need to be online at the same time as the lead educator or other students.
