The OU changed my career prospects. It was the most positive thing I did and also the most difficult. I would do it all again if I could.

Studying online with the OU has suited my personal circumstances as a retiree and a full-time carer. It has been an interesting, enlightening and challenging experience that has added to the purpose of retirement.
