A great new opportunity to access the Times Higher Education

Library Services are delighted to bring Students and Staff access to the Times Higher Education Supplement. You can register with your open.ac.uk email for unlimited access to the website and to digital copies of the Times Higher Education. This will give you access to all current articles and past archive whenever you want, with a facility to download and read offline. You can also access the content via their app.

Are you interested? It is straightforward to set up an account for online access using your OU email address. If you’re a student who has not set up their OU email address yet, you can find out how to do this in the Help Centre
