Allan Mooney

The most enjoyable part is seeing the students flourish and develop both in their knowledge and understanding of the learning material and their growth and development as an individual.

Nigel Walton

I chose to teach at the OU after completing my MBA with the university, because I was so impressed with the experience as a student.

Aqueel Wahga

As an entrepreneurship and SME development focused researcher, Dr Wahga investigates the growth dynamics and environmentally responsible behaviour of firms.

Mark Welton

I am a product of the OU having achieved my BSc(Open)Hons degree with the OU and then my Master of Public Administration with Portsmouth University both were distance learning. I therefore wished to promote the OU to other working adults as an alternative option to studying full time with another establishment.
