The Open University

50 years after the OU was created, in a special Our Story, Mark Stephen meets some of its graduate past and present and hears the inspiring stories of the difference it’s made to their lives over the years. He’ll talk to Katla Helgason, who came to Edinburgh from Iceland in 1971 then graduated from student to tutor; 62 year old grandmother Anna Drysdale who just completed her degree 34 years after starting it; and the students currently undertaking an OU degree from Shotts prison.
