Most FutureLearn courses run multiple times. Every run of a course has a set start date but you can join it and work through it after it starts. Find out more The course for its most part requires a basic level of mathematical skills, at the level of a final-year school pupil. Some of the video lectures are significantly more advanced and include University-level math material. However, people encountering difficulties with the most advanced material should still be able to answer the quizzes and complete the course successfully. A basic knowledge of physics is helpful, but not required. You can use the hashtag #FLhiggs to talk about this course on social media.
