Alumni – have your say!

The Open University (OU) Business School and Law School Alumni Insights Survey 2019 is the first time our survey includes our undergraduate business and law alumni. We are delighted to be able to extend this survey to you and we will continue to seek your input in the future. Look out for the survey invitation hitting your inboxes soon.

Not every day you get to use a bit of Latin…

Alumni
noun, plural a·lum·ni [uh-luhm-nahy, -nee]
a graduate or former student of a specific school, college, or university

We want to develop the engagement activities and opportunities we offer to alumni so we can better serve you and connect our rapidly growing alumni network across the world. You can remind yourself about our current alumni benefits and services on our Alumni webpages.

Any alumni responses will be used to inform our decisions about the future. The survey should only take around 10 minutes and covers four areas:

  • View of the University – tell us how you perceive the Business and Law Schools and the wider OU
  • Interaction with the University – your views on any recent contact or events
  • About You –  so we can better understand our alumni community and your interests
  • Contact Preferences –  let us know how we can best engage with you in the future

The information provided from the survey will be used to create an anonymous report for the OU Business and Law Schools which will be shared with our senior leadership. However, an option to share your individual responses will be presented at the end of the survey.

As a thank you for taking part, if you choose to be entered into the free prize draw, you have the chance to win either a £100 Amazon voucher or one of two £50 Amazon vouchers. Alternative options of equivalent value can also be offered.

We hope you can take part and enjoy staying connected, we really appreciate it!

If you have any questions about the survey or the alumni community, please let us know.
