the open university students association
London
Our Story The OU Students Association was born in 1972, just a short few years
after the Open University was established by Royal Charter. Our mission is to
make a positive difference to all OU students and this is the underlying
principle of everything we do. Setting up an Association for students was not an
easy feat, and our foundation was announced in the January 1973 edition of
SESAME, the OU students’ newspaper.
