Study courses online at Cardiff Uni

Want to learn at Cardiff from the comfort of your own home? Well now you can with the university opening online courses.


Cardiff University has partnered up with FutureLearn to offer open online courses, ahead of all other Welsh universities.

These courses known as MOOCs (massive open online courses) will start next year and Cardiff’s first to offer will be ‘Muslims in Britain: Changes and Challenges’.

Hungover? You could learn without leaving the sofa

Cardiff’s own Professor Patricia Price, Pro Vice-Chancellor, dealing with Student Experience and Academic Standards commented:

“We’re pleased to be one of the first universities to join FutureLearn and to lead the sector in Wales.

“We’re now delighted to see this exciting initiative launch which provides further opportunity to extend access across the world to our high quality education experience.

“Cardiff’s first MOOC will start in 2014, delivered by the pioneering Centre for the Study of Islam in the UK.”
