Maurice Doona

“I studied Law to fulfil a long-held personal ambition to achieve a law degree. Career and personal life had come in the way over the years, and this was coupled with a certain fear of returning to academic education after more than 20 years away from it. Friends of mine had completed the OU journey on other pathways. So, when I sought their advice, they encouraged me to pursue my ambition".

All current students and those who finished their studies within the last three years are also entitled to a careers consultation to help them plan and identify a Careers Action Plan, identify appropriate jobs or careers, and prepare for selection and interview. We also offer selected services to prospective students and those studying OU-validated modules elsewhere.
