We are very pleased to have recently added some third level student dissertations to ORO. They are for the History module “A329 – The making of Welsh history” and are listed in ORO on their own Student Dissertations page.
Adding student projects to ORO:
- Is a great way to showcase the research done by OU students. Providing access to them as exemplars for current and prospective students, supports student recruitment, attainment and retention.
- Supports the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences objective of actively engaging with OU students as partners and co-researchers.

Module Team Chair Richard Marsden said:
A329 offers undergraduate History students a rare opportunity to conduct an independent research project on a topic of their own choosing. Some of the work they have produced is extremely impressive and constitutes a real contribution to our understanding of Welsh history. It is great to be able to make those contributions publicly available to members of the public and other scholars on ORO, especially as doing so is very much in keeping with the OU’s public mission and support for the open sharing of knowledge’.
We are in discussion with other modules to add more student dissertations to ORO. Contact us if you are interested in using ORO in this way.
