I was feeling pretty unemployable until I discovered the OU. My career progression in just a few years has been amazing – OU study equipped me for a successful career, I’d recommend it to anyone. Don’t get me wrong, there were tough times. Working full-time while studying is never going to be easy and you’ve got to make a few sacrifices. But if you’re willing to put in the work, the OU will support you to achieve.
