People who study our courses with the Open University are all very different, but many students have experiences and career plans similar to those of the following fictitious case studies.

Valerie's Path Here is Valerie. She, like many students, is not yet sure of her career path. She does know that she wants to use her higher education qualifications to help her gain professional employment.

Other Paths of Learning Here are four other examples of the kinds of people who come to the Open University to explore vocational higher education training. They all have a much clearer idea about where they are going.

Meet the Tutors These are the kinds of people who students may meet as their tutors. They have a combination of experience in specialist areas of work but have also developed skills in supporting students in higher education.

Other Courses at the OU There are many other courses that can be taken at the Open University, for students of all levels. Find out more about related courses here.
