Mr Cameron said: "Britain boasts some of the best universities in the world. This innovative new offer led by The Open University will mean that Indian students can access some of the best teaching and learning online from their home in Mumbai or Delhi.
"I'm delighted that Futurelearn is expanding to include more British universities and the British Library. I hope it will encourage many more Indian students to take the next step and study with a UK university."
Professor David Greenaway, Vice-Chancellor of The University of Nottingham, said: "Futurelearn has the potential to be transformational.
"The breadth of access will capture a wider cohort of learners than is traditionally possible. The University of Nottingham's unique global footprint will be further enhanced by this development."
The First Futurelearn courses open later this year.
