The Open University in Scotland is the largest provider of part-time undergraduate higher education in Scotland. We are a world leader in providing innovative and flexible distance learning opportunities. We were founded over 50 years ago with a clear purpose: to open up education to all. Our mission is to be open to people, places, methods and ideas. We are open to everyone, regardless of age, income, geography and background and with no requirement for entry qualifications. That means that many of our new undergraduates join us without the qualifications you would normally need to get into university. Students can choose to study for a degree, diploma or certificate, or take a stand-alone module. Flexible study is core to our offer with 73% of our students working either full-time or part-time fitting study around their professional or personal life at a pace and level that works for them. We offer high-quality distance learning to students, lifelong learners, communities, employees and businesses. Our work includes widening access to higher education, irrespective of background or circumstances, and helping individuals and employers to develop and upskill their workforces.
