Our students

I am studying for my own benefit, I want to prove that I am not thick, and that I can apply myself to education and studies.

Although I had lots of experience in a variety of different things, I didn’t have a degree. Law is a subject that always interested me and the OU’s flexibility meant I could fit my studies around the expedition work.

The OU helped me discover my true potential.

The OU allowed me to pursue my childhood passion of becoming a professional footballer while at the same time gaining a degree.

Thanks to the OU’s one-to-ones and disability services, I barely felt the impact of my OCD. The materials, support, qualitative teaching, virtual learning environment platform and one-to-one support system are all state of the art.

I wanted to qualify as a lawyer for many years to 'give something back'. The Open University has given me the opportunity to study the LLB combined with growing a successful business.

I am doing pro bono work where I can … applying my studying in the real world.

Armed with my Open University degree, I have a desire to help others – to help the disadvantaged and the disenfranchised in life, as I once was.

My degree will help me in the legal industry, and will lead me to relevant jobs and further education in the future.

If you wish to study Law with The Open University then don’t let disability, mental health issues, messed up family or rubbish social skills stop you … you WILL get support.
