Student Voice at the OU

The Open University is dedicated to enabling its students to play a key role in shaping the University’s direction.

Our Student Voice activities are crucial in ensuring every student has the opportunity to have your voice heard. Your feedback and engagement leads to positive impact and change.

Did you have your say?

Thank you so much to every student who made the time to talk to us on Have Your Say Day 2024! There were so many great conversations - from sharing your views on module structure to co-creating a cartoon script about students feeling welcome at the OU.

Have your say day is not your only opportunity to get involved! Please keep an eye on your emails for invitations to give feedback through surveys, join student panels and get more involved in your Students Association.

What you can find on this website

Developed in partnership between the University and the OU Students Association, this site aims to provide a way for students to see how their feedback is listened to and responded to across the University. The website also highlights chances for students to be involved in the growth of the University through student engagement opportunities.

In the video below, you will see a range of students voicing their experience of participating within a range of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion projects.

Please note this video is now a couple of years old so some people no longer have the same title. The current Students Association leadership can be seen on their website.
