Welcome to the OU Careers Advisory Service website.

One way to find your way round our site is to think about the key information you’re looking for.

Simply choose the statement that best reflects your needs.

For instance, if you’re not sure where to start, click on the first statement.

We’ll direct you to pages that will help you plan your career according to your particular skills and abilities.

If you need help with job applications, click here for a list of the relevant pages.

Some of these pages are open to anyone who visits our site.

Others are only open to students registered with us.

Our ‘Spotlight On’ section highlights specific features or developments on the site.

‘Latest news’ alerts you to topical information such as forthcoming events and job or study opportunities.

We also offer career planning publications to download or request by post.

If you’re an employer with potential vacancies for OU students, click on ‘Services for Employers’.

Here you’ll find out more about a range of issues, from recruiting OU students to how we might collaborate to raise your profile within the OU community.

Finally, the navigation bar at the top of the site is another way to find your way around. 

We’ll explore what you can access through this bar in another section of this online guide.
