The Open University - OU Speciality : Sociology
programme: Social Sciences

The Open University is a brilliant university. I’m in my final year of an Open Degree which I have tailored to become a BSc in Social Science. The course content has been top quality and up to date. My tutor have been supportive and readily available to answer any questions that I might have. My deadlines were clearly laid out at the beginning of each year, which means I can schedule my life and work around college and get ahead on any assignments that I need to. I highly recommend the Open University for anyone who is looking to get a degree but doesn’t have the time or money to dedicate to a traditional university.

I studied Social Science with the OU over the course of 5 years during which time I lived in 3 different countries. My materials arrived at home and I had all the resources I needed including a very supportive tutor and classmates. There are handy chat rooms to discuss any issues you have and the course material is amazing in depth, I learned analytical skills that I use in daily life and this course changed the way I see the world around me – I will certainly take another course again in the future.
