As the largest university in Europe, The Open University helps over 200,000 people achieve life changing learning, every year.
The Open University is a global leader in higher education. Our mission is to make learning accessible to all, and together we’ve already helped over 2 million students to realise their ambitions.
In 1969, the creation and ambition of the OU changed the world, giving anyone, anywhere the power to learn. Recognised globally, The Open University has pioneered open and distance learning for over 50 years, delivering exceptional teaching, based on world leading research, and outstanding support to its students and academic staff. This pioneering spirit and open ethos still drives all that we do today. For our students, our employees, and through our research, we represent a world where possibilities are endless and the future is open.
We are dedicated to creating and sharing knowledge and learning to realise social and environmental justice. As an educator we place sustainability at the heart of our teaching, research, and knowledge exchange. As a business, we champion best practice across all four nations of the UK.
