Get involved with OU Student Consultation Meetings in March 2026!
Get involved in shaping your Open University study and tell us your ideas at the student consultations this March, in-person and online, and make a difference to the current and future student and learner experience.
To sign up to a face-to-face Meeting, simply complete this form by Friday 6 March. We're hosting meetings at Cardiff, Belfast, Edinburgh, Manchester, London and our Milton Keynes campus.
If you can’t make a face-to-face meeting, join one of our topic‑focused online meetings. Sign up to those by visiting this webpage.
What will the meetings discuss?
We’ll be running interactive sessions where you will:
- contribute to OU’s thinking on assessment design, including assessment that safeguards academic integrity in an AI world,
- discuss how the new University strategy reflects student priorities, and
- consider how to build a community of students and staff that meets student needs.
Open SU will be asking about online vs face‑to‑face invigilated exams and for views on the benefits and barriers of volunteering for OU students.
What happens to your feedback?
Student feedback from our 2025 meetings is already being acted upon by the University. Click this link to read more about how your feedback last year is making improvements to the student experience.
What did students say about our previous meetings?
- "I found it inspiring... I feel like I am part of an OU community which as we all study from home, I didn't think I'd find"
- "The staff were superb, and attending has really enhanced my experience of being an OU student"
- "I have enjoyed taking part in the student consultations and think this is important for any students who want to have their say and feel connected to the wider student community"
We really hope you’ll be able to join us, and if not, be sure to join our mailing list to hear about future opportunities.
