The Open University

We're proud to have helped thousands of alumni make the next step in their lives. We hope you have enjoyed your study experiences and we're proud to have you as part of the #OUFamily, for life.

In 2019, the OU celebrated its 50^th year, and it was a chance for the whole organisation reflect on our past, present and future. The video below aims to show how we are committed to our mission - to be Open to People, Places and Ideas - and that we believe where you start in life shouldn't limit where you go.
