A warm and compassionate welcome from Students for Ethical Science (past and present) of the Open University

We aim to persuade the Open University, by peaceful and legal means, to end its harmful use of animals in research and teaching, and replace it with academically equivalent or superior non-harmful alternatives.

For more information about S E S, its aims and history see About Us or email us at the addresses given on the Contacts page. For information about studying biology and gaining named qualifications in biology and life sciences without harming animals see OU Study and Research.

Please tell us your experiences

If you have attended a residential school and made a request to opt out of harmful animal experiments and to use a non-harmful alternative, we would like to hear about your experience.

Can you provide information on courses?

We are looking for more information about courses to enable us to inform students concerned about harmful animal use. If you have taken or tutored any of the courses concerned, or have the relevant course texts, you may be able to help. Please see Can you help us?
