The Open University - OU (reviews)

Great if you work and need a further qualification, study at your own pace take as long as needed to finish the course, great choices of courses to suit everybody, You can start at any level and move your way up to a PHD even!!

Decided to get my degree later in life, have completed my first year and have been so pleased with my experience so far. My lecturer was amazing and the uni as a whole is just so helpful; an all round positive experience which has been great as I was very nervous about going back to school after so many years!

I have completed my first year and now into my second and I would say I have had a good experience so far with tutors and materials provided. The tutors tend to be very engaging in my experience and knowledgable.

I think the Open University is a fantastic institution but sometimes I feel that the student support offered could be better. I’ve had experiences where I have had to unfortunately step back a little bit from my work and the support in getting back on track has been next to non-existent. This is one major area in which I think the university could improve.
