The Open University Students Association in Northern Europe

The current E C M for O U S A in Northern Europe is Patricia Knight
"My aim is to ensure that students do not feel isolated, know where to get help and also how to join in discussion groups with other students. These can be from the same course, in which case the topics would be more specific, or students from different courses, discussing studying and related matters in general. My aim is also to help make The Open University site even more accessible and easier to use than it is."

Branches
O U S A has branches at a local level. Not all branches meet in person and not all are active at a formal level within O U S A. But all branches do have a forum on First Class where you can meet other students online. See the link in the menu bar for more information about First Class. Where newsletters are linked these are in Word format and some personal contact details may have been removed. Where websites are linked these are managed by either past or current students so are not under the direct control of O U S A. The Open University Students Association is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
