The OU supports a vibrant research portfolio and fosters research teams who compete with top ranked institutions in the UK and worldwide. The research outputs of both staff and students benchmark the institution as one which makes a major contribution to the intellectual currency of a discipline, and to a broader debate around key issues affecting the social, political and geographical well-being of individuals, communities, cultures and nations.

In addition to the main research programmes hosted on the main Walton Hall campus, the research community is enhanced through collaborations with top ranked institutions in the UK and worldwide.
