Getting started at the OU as an international research student

Three international postgraduate research students at the Open University (UK) tell Dr Lindsay O'Dell, Graduate School Director, how they embarked on their research degrees. While recorded with new international students in mind, many of the students’ tips are relevant to all: be proactive, introduce yourself to people who can help you, keep up with your hobbies, and see the potential advantages in the unusual situation we’re all in (the conversation was recorded in August 2020 during the pandemic).
