I came back to study with the Open University after 10 years beak. I completed the first year in university within a part time course that allowed me to study and work at the same time.
Overall it was a great experience and I learned a lot, I had the opportunity to share knowledge with other students while learning from home.

I am currently studying at the OU Business Management and Economics, the professors are good but the lessons are pointless. I have attended two or three lessons during my academic year, I can’t find them helpful at all, I do my own research and watch videos in Youtube which I find more helpful than the lessons If I am honest.

I find it very hard to understand the books, the information is not very clear, I found myself buying separate economic books.

The pros are the flexibility, you can study on your own path, from everywhere, the degrees are slightly cheaper than other universities, and at the end of the day, the value of the degree is exactly the same as any other university.

I am enjoying studying at the OU, even if I find it hard sometimes.
