Open University awards Eurobachelor label
First students graduating from the Open University's molecular science (hons) degree to be awarded the Eurobachelor label
This spring The Open University (OU) awarded the Eurobachelor label to four students graduating from its molecular science (hons) degree. These are the first students from the OU to receive this label, which holds the promise of greater employability and mobility within Europe. Yvonne Ashmore, molecular science awards manager, in the department of chemistry and analytical sciences at the OU, told Education in Chemistry, 'We believe that the Eurobachelor label provides evidence that these students have the knowledge and skills to enable them to work and communicate effectively across Europe. This is particularly important for our graduates who are nationals of EU countries other than the UK, especially those students who live and work overseas, providing greater transparency for their OU degrees'.
