Audit many university-backed courses for free on FutureLearn

FutureLearn allows users to join many short and longer courses from UK universities and cultural partners on a free "audit" basis: you can view course materials and participate in discussions at no cost, though certificates and extended access may require payment. The free option is available to anyone with an internet connection — create a free account, enrol on a course and choose the free/audit track when prompted. It’s a long‑standing way to access structured university content online without fees for the basic learning experience.
