Once again this past week we’ve been busy scanning across the internet to find the latest information and Open University courses. This week there’s a free Six Nations course, education gaps in NI and looking at how society works. Remember, if there’s a free course or bit of news on the agenda then hopefully we will pick it up and stick it on the next Open University news.
Enjoy the Six Nations rugby tournament through a free OU course!

Discover all the different ways in which sport impacts our lives and explore The Open University’s sports and fitness modules and qualifications by trying a free course.
