The Open University (OU) is the United Kingdom's only university dedicated to distance learning. Known by many as the University of the Air, we've always reached our students and the wider public through BBC television broadcasts. And now we're on YouTube.

OULife is our YouTube channel for videos that give an insight into the world of the OU. Many of these videos are blogs created by the staff and students of the University who are all over the UK and the world.

We hope they give a voice and a face to a community of over 180,000 students, 20,000 staff and millions of alumni.
