The OU provides a variety of opportunities for study, research and partnership for people and organisations outside the UK. The main links are given below.
International Fellowships
The International Fellowships are aimed at scholars and professional staff working in higher education institutions, government ministries or NGOs related to higher education. The Open University (OU) invites individuals to undertake a Fellowship, normally 3-6 months, based at our headquarters in the UK (Walton Hall in Milton Keynes, situated about 50 km north of London), or in one of the UK regional centres. The only stipulation is that applicants should describe a planned project, which should be clearly related to open, online or distance education and requiring support from staff at the OU in the UK.
