The Open University attracts people from all age groups and all walks of life. Nearly a quarter of our new students are under 25. You don’t need any qualifications or grades to get a place at the OU. We offer learning at a much lower cost than other universities and, depending on your income you may quality for financial support (in fact many of our students study for free). Unlike other universities we’re not interested in what your parents earn. OU qualifications are great for your career. Employers really like people who can think for themselves. Ring or email for a brochure or drop into our office 9-5pm Monday to Friday. Our Wales office is at: 18 Custom House Street, Cardiff, Cf10 1AP | |
