Students

The Open University’s support for entrepreneurs lifts off this month with the 2025 launch of its fund awarding grants towards setting up a business, open to students and alumni.

Santander’s student £10k prize draw is back! This time, they’re offering 40 grants of £250 to students across the UK.

Thanks to Santander Universities, this year 10 lucky students will get the chance to win £1000 cash in a free draw.

The Open University has commissioned a new survey of 18–19-year-olds in England which shows that nearly 1 in 2 (49%) have reconsidered going to university in the last year because of the rising cost of living. 

Italian MSc Human Resource Management (HRM) students from the University of Cagliari were at the OU’s campus in Milton Keynes for two days in late April as part of a UK trip.

The Open University Business and Law Schools held our annual Student and Alumni Awards on Friday 21 October 2022. Awards were presented to exceptional students from the faculty, and postgraduate business alumni who have made an outstanding contribution to society. 

When Kianna Graham, 21, had to decide what life would look like after college, she says The Open University was the only option.

The Faculty of Business and Law has an extended pilot to offer greater support to students who were once in the care system starting today.

The Open University Business and Law Schools recently enjoyed a double celebration for the achievements of our fantastic students and alumni.

Congratulations to Open University Business School PhD graduate Nicola Croxton who passed her PhD viva on 13 October 2020.
