Who wants a nice, quiet retirement?

07/01/2008

If you’re thinking of, or in, retirement, isn’t now the time to do all those things you’ve always promised yourself? What do you have in mind?

The Open University’s broad range of introductory and short courses is ideal for studying at home - and it really doesn’t matter if you haven’t studied for years.  You can explore the oceans, learn about your heritage, investigate ethical decision making or get to grips with digital photography.

The OU also offers practical courses, such as “You and your money”, which may help you manage your finances and pension.

So don’t plan on slowing down just yet. You can study wherever and whenever you like. On an introductory course you’ll receive full support from tutors and fellow students, and if you want to, you can get involved in your local study community, so you could meet others who share your interests.  

The OU aims to make its courses accessible for everyone and offers a wide range of services and support for disabled students. You may also be eligible for a partial or full financial award towards your study expenses (this will depend on your gross household income).

Who knows what it could lead to….?

OU’s introductory and short courses are a great way to start studying. Some courses are as short as 8 weeks and once you’ve completed one, you may be tempted to start another.

So why not get in touch today? The Open University can keep your mind expanding for weeks, months or even years to come.
