Our student stories

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.

My MBA studies have been inherently linked to my career progression, giving me the skills and confidence to take on new responsibilities and initiatives.

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 OU qualification has had – and continues to have – a huge impact on my career prospects.

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.

I’d come from a council estate in Sheffield and I’d found myself working in the City! But my MBA gave me the confidence to thrive within a very different culture.

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.
