Closed Practical Science Courses at the Open University

Closed on

The Open University plans to stop making residential practical courses available to science students.

The OU is an important provider of science education for people planning careers in science and science teaching. Practical courses are, and should continue to be,an essential part of science education at university level.

We call on MPs and the Department of Education to raise this matter with the Open University and discuss the possibilities of reversing this decision, especially in the light of new funding arrangements
