Are you an OU student with a story to tell?  If so, the OU Careers Advisory Service would like to hear from you.

Prospective (and current) students tell us that they like to hear about other students and graduates who have done well, or have used their OU study to get into their chosen career - and that inspiring person could be you!

  • Have you progressed or changed career as a result of your OU study?
  • Have you done an internship or tried some interesting voluntary work?
  • Have you worked overseas?
  • Has OU study helped you become self-employed?

If so, we would love to know about it.

We have spoken to OU students about their careers, their study and their lives, and we have published these case studies on our Student Stories page.  These real life stories can give you an idea for the sorts of ways OU study can help you progress in your career, or change career.

If you are interested in offering a case study for the website, please contact us at student-careers-feedback@open.ac.uk
