UCL’s short, open online courses with FutureLearn are designed to provoke conversation, can be accessed from anywhere in the world, and work on any device. To date they have attracted more than 350,000 sign-ups globally and span topics such as dementia, urban planning, anthropology, and medicine.

What is FutureLearn Campus?

UCL is part of FutureLearn Campus - an initiative that enables us to provide UCL students and staff with free upgraded access to existing UCL Futurelearn courses, alongside 750 courses from more than 40 other institutions internationally. When you sign up for a course using FutureLearn Campus you will gain benefits that would orginarily require payment, including:

  • Access to the course for as long as it’s available on FutureLearn 
  • Access to any course assessments and a digital Certificate of Achievement when you have met relevant course criteria.

In addition, the upgraded access makes it is possible to use any of UCL’s existing courses with closed cohorts of UCL students.

Using FutureLearn Campus

FutureLearn Campus is available via UCL single sign on. To sign up:

  • Navigate to UCL FutureLearn Campus and click the ‘Start learning now’ button
  • Complete UCL single sign on with your UCL credentials
  • If you don’t have a FutureLearn account, create one, but if you do, sign in with your usual FutureLearn credentials and the accounts will be linked.

If you have any questions about the service, please contact futurelearn@ucl.ac.uk.
