Our student stories

It’s lighting that fire inside again. When I finish the degree apprenticeship, I can potentially look for bigger and better jobs within South Western Railway.

After redundancy, I’m shaping my future with the OU and GO Wales.

I decided to study for both personal and career goals. I wanted to become a successful businessperson working within a field that I understood and felt passionate about.

I would recommend the OU Business School to anyone because of the high level of tuition and online material on offer. The degrees are recognised worldwide.

I went from a Principal Consultant, to Associate Director, to Chief Technical Officer reporting to the CEO, all since graduating. This would not have been possible in this time frame without the MBA.

If you're committed to changing your life by doing something you love, then study with the OU Business School. It's not just a qualification, it's a way of life. The skills you learn will be with you forever.

I found the MBA programme very rewarding. It made me appreciate learning and exposed me to leadership theories which have practical applications both in the business environment and in life more generally.

Achieving my MBA gave me a new-found confidence and has helped with my career and own business development.

My encounter with the OU has been life changing. I have a new voice, new perspectives, and a new invigorated passion to make positive changes.

Football is my passion – I still have dreams of playing in the Premiership. But with my degree, I hope that in time I can set up a business, maybe something to do with football, so that I have a career long after my days on the pitch.
