Overview

This event welcomes new students to share their experiences of starting OU study. We are looking to learn from you in order to improve the support we provide and ensure your learning journey is an equitable one.

In this informal session, OU staff will share some tips and key information for new students, but we want to hear from you about your experiences so far: why did you choose the OU, have we helped you prepare for your study, what has been helpful but also what hasn't worked or is missing.

Please do join us, particularly if you have additional needs - with your health, finances, time, or anything else. Your feedback will form part of the student input to the University’s new Access and Participation Plan (2025-28).

Hosts: OU Staff Angela Garrod, Emma Greening and Farnaz Rais
