The OU Access Programme

An Open University (OU) Access Module is an ideal starting point if you need to develop your study skills and build your confidence. You can also use this as preparation to study any of our undergraduate qualifications.

You don’t need any special knowledge or experience to study these modules, and – as with most OU study – you don’t need any previous qualifications to study with us.
