War in Ukraine - the OU response

Across The Open University, we are coming together to support those caught up in the horrors of the war in Ukraine.

From fee waivers for 2021/22* Ukrainian students to free OpenLearn resources and scholarships for refugees, the OU is determined to support those most in need.

Our leading academics are also giving expert analysis of what is happening, appearing regularly in the media to help people understand the latest developments.
