Postgraduate study

Some postgraduate modules and qualifications may be available for study in secure environments but availability will depend on a number of factors.

Please make an initial enquiry via your regional SiSE support team.

Research in Secure Environments

To support postgraduate students, and students studying Level 2 and Level 3 modules, we have a Library Study Partner Scheme. A group of OU students, co-ordinated by the OU Students Association (OUSA), provide library support for students unable to access the OU online library. This service can be used by students in prison, in a secure hospital or serving their sentence in the community.

Students can submit their research requests using this form, which can be returned by email to SiSE-Accessibility@open.ac.uk, the requests can also be submitted online here
