The Open University Psychological Society is the student society for OU psychology students

An affiliated society within the OU Student Association (OUSA).

We are a volunteer-run, not-for-profit, registered charity (No. 282744) and have run continuously since 1974.

Your student society exists to support you as OU psychology students both academically and socially throughout your studies and also after you graduate.

The Open University provide you with all the support and material that you need for your degree and OUPS works closely with the OU School of Psychology to give you opportunities to enrich your study and your enjoyment of psychology.

Our aim is to offer something for everyone, no matter what your circumstances or level of study.

  • At a national level we run a programme of events that include pre-module Springboard Weekends, mid-module Consolidation Weekends, Revision weekends, Methods Workshops and an Annual Conference.

  • Our regional teams organise a variety of events including overview days, day conferences and social events.

  • We also offer on-line forums for informal discussion of all things psychological on Facebook.

Welcome to OUPS! It is a great honour to be the new Chair. After attending OUPS events during my undergraduate degree I was immediately inspired and motivated by the support from both the OUPS team and my fellow students. It was a great pleasure to join the committee in 2023, and I look forward to continuing to work with them and our fantastic team of tutors to keep creating and running our wonderful range of events. Do get in touch if you have any ideas - its always good to hear from our members. I look forward to seeing you at one of our events in the future.
