Richard Branson

Launches the worlds first university for dyslexia thinking.

Welcome to the vibrant and innovative world of the Branson University – the educational haven where the boundless spirit of Richard Branson meets the unique cognitive superpowers of dyslexic thinking! This pioneering institution is not just any ordinary university; it's a beacon of learning that celebrates and empowers the dyslexic mindset, turning perceived challenges into catalysts for change and innovation.

Imagine stepping into a learning environment where the teachings are as colourful as the ideas that flourish within them. Where the teachings are filled with inspiring quotes and success stories from the likes of Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, and yes, Richard Branson himself – all champions of dyslexic thinking. Here, the traditional chalk-and-talk approach is replaced with an immersive, hands-on curriculum that embraces the diverse ways in which dyslexic individuals process and understand information.

At Branson University, they don't just recognize the strengths of dyslexia; they amplify them! The courses are meticulously crafted to hone the skills that set dyslexic thinkers apart: creativity, problem-solving, visualization, and empathy. Whether you're a dyslexic individual eager to harness your abilities or a curious soul looking to tap into this extraordinary way of thinking, the doors are now wide open.

I am dyslexic myself and suffered serious issues with learning at school because I was immediately put in the Dumbo category, once the teachers realized I could not read or spell like everyone else. I knew I wasn't a Dumbo, so found other ways to avoid school and became an entrepreneur myself, selling whatever other kids wanted, like cigarettes and sweets. As a life coach today, I spend my time helping inspire other kids to hear my own story of triumph over my dyslexia, writing three published books, building a Global head-hunting firm and ethical fashion business, all without being able to spell, write or read properly.

This new university for dyslexic thinking on the open university site, will be a life saver for many kids who are struggling to get by, in a world where bullying is rife, so I say, well done Mr Branson, you are a genius. Together, let's redefine what it means to learn, to lead, and to change the world – one dyslexic insight at a time. Welcome to the university that's rewriting the rulebook on education and success. Welcome to Branson University – where thinking differently is celebrated, and the future is yours for the making!
