Heather Fields

I joined the OU as an Associate Lecturer more than 20 years ago, a few days after my first daughter was born. Before that I worked in a London teaching hospital, researching in areas such as dyslexia and – contrastingly - psychological aspects of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

My time at the OU has been spent teaching (as well as exam and EMA marking) on various level 2 and 3 psychology modules and I’ve also completed a Masters in Science with the OU. In my spare time I sing in a very disorderly village choir, walk a lot and make embarrassingly slow progress in learning German.

Heidi Daniels

Heidi studied one step at a time with the OU. She completed a certificate, then a diploma and finally a BA (Hons) in Business Studies with French. Having left school with virtually no qualifications, the idea of doing a degree initially felt too scary. But she started with one course, and gradually caught the study bug!

Heidi didn’t study for a definite career goal, but she says her work colleagues and customers noticed a real change in her. Her studies made her feel more confident and capable of taking new things on, and she’s still feeling the benefits in her work now.
