FutureLearn Review

FutureLearn was founded in 2012 with the aim to empower individuals through lifelong learning. Its courses are 100% online, meaning you can learn wherever and whenever you want.

Plus, the platform has partnered with 250+ universities and organizations to deliver world-class education in a range of subjects. To date, they boast over 18 million learners and even offer specialist learning for businesses and schools.

But is FutureLearn worth the hype? What are the best FutureLearn courses? Can I learn for free? And can I use FutureLearn to upskill my employees?

In this FutureLearn review, I’ll answer these questions and more. To do this, I’ve taken the time to try the platform for myself, taking a selection of courses, and finding out what others think of the platform. 

So, to start, here’s some basic info:

In this FutureLearn review, I’ll cover:

• What is FutureLearn and who are its instructors?
• How does FutureLearn work and how much does it cost?
• FutureLearn free trial
• What a FutureLearn lesson is like
• Best FutureLearn courses
• What I liked and thought could be improved
• Who FutureLearn is for and whether you can buy it as a gift

• Is FutureLearn worth it?
• FAQs

So, let’s get started.

What is FutureLearn?

Giving you the chance to learn from top colleges at a fraction of the price, FutureLearn is an online learning platform hosting 2,000+ courses.

With free limited access, FutureLearn offers courses ranging from bite-sized to full online degrees. Through the site, you can upskill, pursue a passion, or even pave a new career.

It also partners with leading organizations, such as the University of Adelaide and Trinity College Dublin, to help you to master new skills and gain specialized knowledge.

Offering ExpertTrack and microcredentials, FutureLearn aims to transform learning through wider access to education. Currently boasting 18+ million users from over 140 countries, FutureLearn shows no signs of slowing down.

How does FutureLearn work?

There are several ways you can take courses with FutureLearn. Namely, you can:

• Register for a free account, browse, and enroll to any of the 2,000+ courses
• Take courses for free with limited access (no certificates included)
• Subscribe to Unlimited (annual or monthly) for access to all courses

The first thing to do is sign up, which is free and easy to do. Click the ‘Register’ button in the top right hand corner of the landing page. Then, enter your name, email address, and set a password. After that, you’re all set!

From here, you can explore the platform and sign up to any course that takes your fancy. There are usually different free/payment options for these, and costs vary according to the course type. I’ve summarized these options below:

Option	Goal	Length	Billing	Includes
Short courses	Learn new skills	c 4 weeks -1hr pw	Free limited access, single course payment, or subscription	Certificate with purchase, 4+ hrs learning, assessments
ExpertTracks	Master skills in a specialist area	c 14 weeks – 2 hrs pw	Free 7-day trial, then monthly payment	Certificate, 28+ hrs learning, assessments
Micro- credentials	Expand knowledge in a specialized field	c 10 weeks	Single course payment	University credits, 100+ hrs learning, assessment
Online degrees	University-led learning from under to post grad	C 1-3 years	Single course payment	Internationally-recognized qualification after passing degree, full access to university resources

FutureLearn’s subjects include:

• Business & Management
• Creative Arts & Media
• Healthcare & Medicine
• History
• IT & Computer Science
• Language
• Law
• Literature
• Nature & Environment
• Politics & Society
• Psychology & Mental Health
• Science, Engineering & Maths
• Study Skills
• Teaching

Each FutureLearn course gives you an overview of what you’ll learn, as well as a weekly breakdown of the syllabus. You can also sample some of the course for free.

Generally, most courses on FutureLearn hold a positive rating, with the platform as a whole rated 4.5 on Trustpilot.

How much does FutureLearn cost?

Because FutureLearn features so many course types, prices can vary.

For most shorter courses, there’s a free limited access option. This means you can access the course for a short period of time but cannot gain a certificate.

I’ve gone into more detail about the following course types below:

• Short courses
• ExpertTracks
• Microcredentials
• Online degrees

Short courses

As the name implies, FutureLearn’s short courses are the shortest courses on the platform. These span around four weeks, with about an hour’s study time per week.

To get short courses for free, you can sample the course material with the free limited access option. This means you can access all of the course content for the course’s run. However, you can’t take tests or earn a certificate.

If you want to take the whole course at your own pace and receive an end-of-course certificate, you can buy the course for a one-off payment (average $125) or subscribe to FutureLearn’s Unlimited. For a one-off course subscription, you also earn a digital and printed certificate.

With Unlimited, you gain only digital certificates but also get access to FutureLearn’s 2,000+ courses. With the annual subscription, you’re looking at around $321/year (or $26/month). This is the most cost-effective option, with the monthly subscription coming to $38/month.

ExpertTracks

Unlike short courses, ExpertTracks allows you to subscribe to a series of courses (usually 3-4), which specialize in a particular pathway.

To access these for free, you can take a 7-day free trial, after which you’re looking at around $46/month. As per FutureLearn’s T&Cs, you may claim one free trial period per ExpertTrack. You can also cancel at any time during the trial period without being charged.

It’s worth noting that ExpertTracks are not included in FutureLearn’s Unlimited. Any course that’s part of an ExpertTrack will be listed as such on the landing page.

Microcredentials

Another course type for specialized learning, microcredentials are usually accredited by leading universities, and can even be used as academic credit toward a degree. With this in mind, they tend to be longer than other courses – at around 10 weeks in length.

Costs vary depending on how many credits the course is worth, and whether these credits can be used toward a degree, but you’re looking at around $963 for a 10-credit course. Like with ExpertTracks, microcredentials are specialist courses and are pay-per-course.

That being said, if you’re in the UK, they do have a pay-in-3 PayPal option to spread the costs. But, this is only available for microcredential courses and does not apply to other FutureLearn course options.

While there is no free trial available, you do have 14 days to apply for a refund if you find that the course isn’t for you.

Online degrees

Finally, FutureLearn offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. As with some of the microcredentials, you should check that you meet the requirements before starting one of these courses.

With many degrees, you can choose to study part-time or full-time, and all of these are internationally accredited. For non-UK/EU students, there are also tuition fees to bear in mind.

Costs vary depending on the course, degree type, and partner institution, but, to give you an idea, you’re looking at around $20,000 for a 1-year Master of Business course. You also have the option to move to a different degree within the same discipline if one is available.

Unfortunately, FutureLearn does not currently offer financial aid, and payment plans vary across each degree. For some degrees, you have to pay upfront in one go. With others, you pay per program and work toward the degree that way.

Because FutureLearn takes payment through its partner universities, the institution decides how payment is made. For each course, you can also request information from the university, who will be in touch regarding your queries.

FutureLearn free trial

Unlike with other e-learning sites, there is no blanket ‘free trial’ for FutureLearn as a whole. Rather, each course type usually has its own way you can sample the course, or be eligible for your money back.

Specifically, a 7-day free trial is available with FutureLearn’s ExpertTrack courses. During this time, you gain access to the full course content (but can’t earn certificates) and you can cancel at any time during this period without being charged.

While microcredentials and degrees don’t offer free trials, you’re eligible for a refund within 14 days of signing up if the course isn’t for you. With degrees, you can also move to another program within the same discipline if one is available.

For FutureLearn’s shorter courses, there’s usually a free limited access option. This means you can access any short course for its duration and you won’t be charged until this period ends.

As with the ExpertTracks, you can cancel during the first 14 days without being charged.

FutureLearn refund

FutureLearn has an in-depth cancellation and refund policy that can be found here. In short, you’re able to request a refund for a paid-for course/subscription within 14 days of purchase. 

Can I buy FutureLearn as a gift?

At the moment, you cannot buy FutureLearn as a gift for someone else. However, as the platform is growing, they are keen to look into this in the future!

FutureLearn for businesses

FutureLearn also caters to businesses looking to upskill their employees. Prices and plans vary according to business size and goals, but, in short, FutureLearn’s aim is to support lifelong learning through personal and professional development.

You’re required to get in touch so FutureLearn can assess your learning needs and create a plan, but there are a number of services FutureLearn offers for a range of businesses.

For example, they can create course content for implementing new strategies, help with data analytics, and even offer bespoke learning for training needs.

What a FutureLearn lesson is like

Because FutureLearn has a huge volume of courses (and four main course types), it can be hard to generalize what a course is like.

However, the general structure offers a course breakdown, along with the lesson aims. Then, in a typical lesson, you can expect:

• High quality video lessons (with subtitles/transcripts available)
• 24/7 access to discussion forums with students and teachers
• Quizzes, homework, and assessments to work toward course completion
• Readily available support services
• Certificate upon passing (paid-for only)

Best FutureLearn classes

Some of the most popular and highly rated courses on FutureLearn are:

• Short courses: Teaching English Online | Cambridge University Press
• ExpertTracks: Addiction Medicine: An Introduction | American Society of Addiction Medicine
• Microcredentials: Climate Solutions for a Net Zero Future | Nottingham Business School
• Online degrees: Contemporary Education | academyEX

But, of course, the best FutureLearn course for you will depend on your own interests and goals.

How I reviewed FutureLearn

To write this review, I’ve spent a lot of time exploring FutureLearn and taking various types of courses. Along with this, I’ve also looked into other people’s opinions of the site to gain a better idea of what works (and what doesn’t).

To get a more rounded picture, I chose a range of subjects from those I was familiar with, to those I was unfamiliar with. I also considered the production values, overall course quality, and how well ‘beginner-friendly’ courses held up.

What I liked about FutureLearn

Learn from prestigious institutions

With FutureLearn, you have the opportunity to learn from the likes of UCL, University of California, and Deakin University.

Not to mention, FutureLearn also partners with specialist organizations as well as colleges, including Bloomsbury Publishing, Cambridge University Press, and The Excel Club.

So, the chance to learn from top universities and global organizations is a sure-fire way to accelerate your career and take steps toward making a real-world impact.

Free limited course access

Many of FutureLearn’s short courses (and even some of their online degrees) offer free taster classes in a given subject. For most short courses, you can access the entire course for a limited time.

The catch? Unfortunately, with this option, you can’t receive an accreditation or end-of-course certificate. But, you can still try out a range of subjects.

And, if you find that a particular course has been worth your while, you can also upgrade at any time for unlimited course access and an end-of-course certificate upon passing.

Physical and digital certificates

Depending on which payment option you go for, you’ll receive a physical/digital end-of-course certificate.

Some of these are accredited (the course landing page will confirm this) and you can showcase these to employers.

Unlimited upgrade available

With the option to upgrade to unlimited learning, you gain lifetime access to a particular course. So, unlike the limited option which stays active only for the course duration, unlimited means you can learn at your own pace and visit the course content as many times as you want.

Mixed media learning

While online learning can seem restrictive to some, FutureLearn recognizes its online potential and does its best to cater to a range of learning styles.

With this in mind, any given course will offer a mixture of videos, reading, quizzes, project-based learning, discussions, and assessments. This means that you engage actively with the course material rather than reading/listening passively through the screen.

Open discussion with teachers and learners

Online discussion forums are a great way to cement learning and to clarify anything you’re uncertain about.

While online learning lacks the 1-1 tuition that benefits in-person learning, FutureLearn’s discussion forums do their best to bridge this gap and ensure 24/7 live support throughout your course.

What could be improved

Limited selection of free courses

While there’s a generous amount of free courses on FutureLearn, these tend to be restricted to shorter courses. For example, with ExpertTracks, there is no free limited option. 

So, if you’re looking to take a shorter course without a certificate, or want to give a few longer courses a ‘sample viewing’, FutureLearn is a great option. However, you won’t be able to gain free certifications or take longer pathway courses.

Certificate only available with upgrade

As above, there is no way to gain a free certification on FutureLearn. To receive a physical or digital certificate, you must either purchase the course or subscribe to FutureLearn.

Test layouts can be confusing

With assessments fully online, FutureLearn sometimes struggles to lay out its tests in the clearest way for students.

While the negative reviews were few and far between, some negative comments I found usually regarded confusing test layouts, with some questions being unclear or without an easy answer.

Who FutureLearn is for

With the kinds of courses on offer, FutureLearn targets a range of students across all disciplines. But, to give you an idea, here are the kinds of people who would best benefit from the platform:

• Anyone looking to take an online degree to pursue their career (especially those who are unable to afford expensive college courses)
• Those looking to try out a new hobby or language
• Employers wanting to upskill their workforce through carefully curated courses
• Anyone with an interested in the subjects FutureLearn offers (particularly those wanting to gain a certificate)

Finding great courses on FutureLearn

Because FutureLearn is such a modern platform, searching for courses is really easy and accessible. There’s even a dedicated ‘Your Learning’ page, which stores your current courses, wishlist, and achievements.

Here are some ways you can find the best courses for you:

• Search using the search bar in the top right corner or by subject
• Choose a course type (i.e. online degree/short course) to see all available courses
• Check out your course recommendations as you engage with the platform
• View the top rated courses on FutureLearn’s homepage

Is FutureLearn legit?

Having used FutureLearn for many years myself, and knowing others who have benefited from it, I can safely say that FutureLearn is legit.

With FutureLearn working in conjunction with the Open University, and providing college-accredited courses taught by expert educators, the platform has quickly become one of the leading online learning platforms out there.

FutureLearn also boasts largely positive reviews from over 18 million students in 140+ countries, and has plans to develop its educational programs even further. In 2019, it also won an EdTechXGlobal Scale-Up award in recognition of its global outreach.

FutureLearn alternatives

While FutureLearn is an ever-growing platform with an impressive array of subjects and partnerships, it’s far from being alone in the world of e-learning.

One of FutureLearn’s closest competitors is Coursera. This platform also partners with top institutions like Yale and Stanford, and boasts an impressive 92 million learners. It also offers more courses, with its current count at over 7,000 programs. 

That being said, Coursera’s pricing can sometimes be confusing, and it tends to work out a lot more expensive than FutureLearn – even for its short courses. It also only offers a 7-day free trial period. In contrast, FutureLearn offers limited access for its short courses for the duration of its run.

If you are looking for a more wallet-friendly option, Udemy also allows for individual course purchases – some of which work out cheaper than FutureLearn. The main downside is that courses vary in quality, and these aren’t college-accredited.

So, before committing to a particular course or platform, it’s worth looking into what you want to get out of your commitment. For example, if you’re looking for a college accreditation, a platform like FutureLearn is more suitable than, say, Udemy.

Likewise, if you’re on a budget, a platform like Coursera might not be the most accessible.

One other option worth considering is Great Learning.

FutureLearn: what others have said

My aim here is to present the most unbiased review of FutureLearn out there, so I’ve considered differing students’ opinions, as well as my own.

To find these out, I searched not only FutureLearn itself, but other forums such as Reddit, to get a feel for what people really thought about the site.

Generally, people felt positively about FutureLearn. Because of the free limited option, and even free taster samples for longer courses/degrees, I think this minimizes the risk of dissatisfaction as you can try before you buy.

That being said, not everyone had a shining review of FutureLearn. But, a lot of the complaints seemed to be geared toward customer service rather than the course providers themselves:

‘I am disappointed by the poor customer service I have experienced after reaching out to support twice regarding an issue I am facing with a course on their website. Despite my attempts to communicate, I have not received any response from them, which is quite frustrating’ – Comment from TrustPilot

While I didn’t come across too many comments like this, it does look like the customer service aspect of FutureLearn could be improved – especially when students are paying considerable money for their courses.

And, for others, the concept of ‘free courses’ seemed misleading given you have to pay for certificates:

‘Incredibly misleading website with so-called “free courses.” Just reached the end of the Effective Fundraising course to be told if I want to take the rest and earn a certificate I have to “buy” a course which is advertised as being “free”’ – Comment from TrustPilot

Personally, I can’t say I agree with this statement. This is because FutureLearn clearly advertises on its website which features come with which subscription. For instance, the ‘free limited access’ option clearly states that there is no end-of-course certificate included, and that you must upgrade for this.

So, I think there has to be some degree of research before committing to a FutureLearn course. And, hopefully, if you’ve been through this review, you have a clearer idea of what is and isn’t included with the free option!

That being said, students were largely satisfied with their FutureLearn experiences, and have even taken their learning beyond single-course purchases:

‘I’m a big fan of FutureLearn. I must have done over ten courses since signing up a few years ago. Many different and highly diverse topics too. I do them for pleasure. There’s an occasional career boost but pleasure is key’ – Comment from TrustPilot

‘I was on an employment related course through my workplace, and couldn’t grasp a basic part of it, but looking at a course from FutureLearn explained it in a different way, and made it clearer’ – Reddit FutureLearn review

‘I’ve done a wide variety of courses on it and found it brilliant. Some I’ve paid for to get unlimited access and a certificate, others I’ve just done free. Would definitely recommend it’ – Reddit FutureLearn review

Evaluating FutureLearn

Features: 2,000+ courses in 10+ categories, partnering with 250+ colleges and institutions worldwide. Short courses offer free limited access with an upgrade option, and you also have the chance to earn full degrees or university credits.

Content quality: FutureLearn’s courses are made in partnership with leading industry professionals and tend to feature multimedia content such as videos, reading, quizzes, project-based assessments, and more. You can also partake in discussion forums with other students and your instructors.

Content breadth: Subjects range from arts & humanities, languages, and technology, from short hobbyist courses through to postgraduate degrees. Disciplines vary from vocational to academic but there tends to be a strong academic slant to most courses.

Teachers: FutureLearn’s instructors are expert educators from leading colleges or global organizations. Many have PhDs and/or are published researchers and writers in their fields.

Supporting materials: Most courses will offer additional resources such as articles and documents to study outside of class time.

Payments and refunds: Shorter courses offer free limited access, with a one-course-upgrade averaging $125 (includes test and certificate). A subscription is around $321/year ($26/month) for the annual option, and ExpertTracks/degrees are individually priced. You can request a refund within 14 days of purchase.

Support: You can access all-round support through FutureLearn’s Help Center here.

How to open a FutureLearn account

Opening a FutureLearn account couldn’t be simpler. All you need to do is click the ‘Register’ button in the top right corner of the page and enter your details to create a free profile.

You can also register using Facebook or Google to speed up the registration process.

Is FutureLearn worth it?

To answer that question, you need to consider what you want to get out of FutureLearn.

If you’re looking to gain a career boost, obtain a new academic qualification, or pursue a hobby, these are all pathways that FutureLearn can help with.

So, if you’re testing the waters and want to make sure a course is right for you before paying, FutureLearn’s free limited option is a fantastic way to access most of the course material without long-term commitment.

At the same time, many of FutureLearn’s longer courses are accredited, so as long as you’re willing to put in the work, you will come out of it with a course certificate and valid university credits (and, of course, there’s the option to obtain online degrees).

While there are a range of vocational subjects on offer (I personally enjoyed the arts and animation courses for fun), the majority of FutureLearn’s work goes into making the best academic courses for real-world learning.

So, if this sounds like something you’re interested in, FutureLearn is definitely for you. And, as many students concede, it’s a great way to invest in yourself even if you’re hesitant about more expensive course options that you might find on, say, Coursera.

Either way, with plenty of free sample material and even entirely free courses, there’s little to lose and a whole lot to gain by checking out FutureLearn.
