    For the past 50 years we’ve made it our mission to open up education for all. As the largest UK uni we’ve empowered over 2 million students across 157 countries to transform their lives through learning – helping make the impossible, possible. Happy 50th birthday to us! #OU50

    Thanks to our students and alumni for reminding @itvcorrie that Open University degrees are achieved while working, raising families, being carers and so much more. No mean feat. So here’s a shout out to members of the #OUfamily – you’re amazing 🙌
