Flexible management courses

Most business schools design management courses to suit them. Our management courses suit you because they provide the flexibility of the world leader in distance learning.

Acknowledged world leadership in distance learning

Years of experience at the forefront of distance education have given us a deep understanding of how professionals learn and develop their practice through management courses.

We invest in the future

We’re deeply committed to research, experimentation and innovation in education, with a long history of adapting and developing technologies that enhance and support learning.

We work with business, for business

From the outset, your professional development is based on what you actually do – not on the experiences of managers in unrelated businesses. What you learn one day, you put into practice the next, so your organisation benefits as much as you. That's why 75 per cent of companies in the UK’s FTSE 100 have sponsored OU students.

We’re flexible and good value for money

On our management courses, you can study when and where you like within the broad timetable, with study options from single courses to professional qualifications. Fees cover everything you need – books, software, assessment, tutorials – with no hidden extras. 

We’re there for you

You’re never alone on our management courses. As soon as you join us you become part of a vibrant learning community with personal tuition, tutor groups, residential schools, online conferencing and collaborative working.

We’re driven by our values

The Open University Business School is deeply committed to equality and diversity in education. We also make it our mission to promote ethical standards, sustainable development and corporate social responsibility in everything that we do.
