Meet OU students online

Being online doesn't mean just studying! There's a variety of ways you can get involved online and chat with other OU students in your area and beyond...

As an OU student, you’ll spend a lot of time online. That doesn’t just have to be working on TMAs or reading for your course – there’s also a wonderfully supportive academic and social community of students online. We realise a lot of students can't meet face-to-face so we aim to provide a space for you to meet and chat online. 

From quizzes to book clubs to online meet-ups, there are plenty of ways to meet other OU students online. For a full list of online events, please check out our events page. 

View all events 

If you are interested in becoming a Meet-Up and Event Host, please keep an eye out on our Volunteering page for the next round of recruitment or email us at oustudents-meetups@open.ac.uk. 

From forums to social media to online chats, there's something for you to connect with. You can check out how to get involved below. Don't forget you can also get involved with our clubs, societies and groups that also have a large online presence.
