University Your Way:

Flexible Online Study for All

Online Event, Tuesday 3 March 2026, 1pm - 2pm

Who says there's only one way to get a degree?


You can enjoy a more flexible university experience, without the pressure to compromise. With award-winning online learning, unrivalled flexibility and the support you need to do your best.


Please join us for this webinar hosted by NEC and presented by The Open University (OU) to discover more.


We'll be welcoming the OU's Ceri Rose to talk about the range of opportunities available through The Open University's online degree courses.


You don’t need to apply through UCAS to study with the OU and most courses have no entry requirement so, with applications for the next academic year opening on 19 March, now is the perfect time to find out more.


During this webinar, you will learn about:


  • how studying with the OU works
  • the range of courses and qualifications available from certificates to full degrees
  • what it’s like to be an OU student
  • costs, funding, and earning while you learn
  • careers guidance and employer recognition
  • how to apply (it’s simpler than you might think)


Plus, there will be plenty of time to ask questions.

It is free to attend and all are welcome — whether you have experience of online learning, or are just starting to explore what’s possible. We hope to see you there!
