Our student stories

I had to juggle my studies along with raising my family, working full-time and alongside my PTSD and health issues. It wasn’t always easy, but I’m grateful that I could study flexibly with the OU.

The best thing about my studies with the OU has been the ability to study online with flexibility and fitting module content around my employment.

I knew this is where I should be, and I wish that I’d studied at the OU years ago.

I believe that my studies with the OU have equipped me well to take a more reflective approach to day-to-day life, both in a professional and personal environment.

To anyone who is seeking a challenge and is eager to learn about business or accounting, I can thoroughly recommend the OU Business School.

My dad studied this MBA at the OU many years ago … then became my discussion partner during my own OU MBA studies!

During my MBA studies with the OU, I was able to realise the power of others to do amazing things – this is what I call leadership.

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.
