International Open University - IOU (reviews)

It was great to be able to pace my degree over several years, and pay by how much I could afford. The literature always arrived on time and the lectures were always useful.The whole course was very inclusive and I always felt part of the course.

I liked being able to work remotely, some TMAs were hard to keep on top of whilst balancing work life and everything that is in between. Tutors were generally helpful but seemed distant. I didn’t have to contact them much. I didn’t work much with other students which I liked because you should only be reliant on what you did, not what others contributed.

I enjoy the flexibility of this university that I can complete it in my free time at home whilst having a full time job. The professors are helpful and supportive however sometimes waiting for responses takes a while.

One of the things that interest me the most is that IOU offers research-based assignments that develop real skills and knowledge. Moreso, the he lecturers are always responsive to students’ questions, making online learning engaging and supportive. This combination of academic excellence and Islamic values makes IOU truly outstanding.

And yes , I will always recommend IOU.
