FutureLearn: free access to many university short courses (audit)

FutureLearn partners with universities and cultural institutions to offer a large catalogue of short online courses; you can join many courses for free using the audit (view‑only) option which provides access to core learning materials and community discussions. Free access terms vary by course — certificates, extended access or assessments may cost — but the platform has long offered no‑cost learning pathways suitable for personal development.
