FutureLearn

Futurelearn is a global learning marketplace, offering courses from some of the world's best universities and education providers. Their partners include 26 of the top 30 UK universities and 21 of the 24 Russell Group. Their mission is to transform access to education so that millions across the globe can develop the skills to achieve their personal and professional goals.

Twin for Hope has discussed with FutureLearn the potential for Ukraine university students to access FutureLearn partner courses for free. This would be enabled by FutureLearn’s 'Campus' programme whereby existing FutureLearn university partners can opt-in to make their FutureLearn courses available to other FutureLearn university partners’ staff and students. In essence, allowing universities to access each others’ courses for free.

The free access for Ukraine university students would mean students can get all the benefits of paid subscriptions. Benefits include consuming course materials at a quicker pace if desired, access to tests, and a digital Certificate of Achievement upon completion.
