The Challenges

We've taken them to the beautiful island of Zanzibar, but this is no exotic holiday for our scientists. They'll wake up to the sea, the sunshine and the local wildlife, but they're also waking up to the challenges.

You don't have to go the ends of the Earth to study science with the Open University - indeed, you don't have to rough it very much at all. The OU allows you to study in your own time, at your own pace, in your own home. And the range of courses ensures there's something that's sure to be right for you.

The courses range from short, introductory courses at first level to post-graduate courses. For further information on the courses available take a look at the OU courses page.
