New online courses earn academic credits for degrees
The University of Leeds is proud to announce that it is the first Russell Group university to launch a credit-bearing online course on the FutureLearn platform.
The University is one of eight leading higher education institutions from around the world offering such courses on the FutureLearn platform. Called Programs, they will enable learners to take part in high-quality online courses that could earn them credit towards a university degree.
Leeds’ first Program is called Environmental Challenges and is made up of five short online courses that consider the relationships between people and nature, as well as the challenging and difficult decisions we face when managing natural resources.
