And it’s not just career skills we’re seeking, many of us are looking to gain new knowledge in our personal lives too - from learning a language or developing skills to support a side hustle.
In this special issue of OpenMinds e-News, we explore the OU’s wide range of short courses, designed to help you build a new skill set, discover a new hobby, or give your career a boost; along with microcredentials, which are designed to help you quickly build in-demand career skills and knowledge. With more than 100 to choose from, courses cover a wide range of subjects from business management and computing to creative arts and languages. Created by our leading OU academics, many are also endorsed by leading industry partners.
Learning is delivered entirely online, which means you can choose when you start and study at a pace that fits around your life and personal commitments.
We recently caught up with Julia, who transformed her approach to her work after completing an OU short course. Check out the video below which also features Professor Haider Ali, Senior Lecturer in Marketing, who shares the benefits that short courses can have on personal and professional growth.
We have listed our top courses for you below along with links for you to discover our whole range. I hope you enjoy exploring what could be the first step in a new learning journey with us.
