As an individual who couldn’t have attended an in person university and instead applied to the Open University right after finishing sixth form, I found that it is an excellent option to provide freedom for selecting ones study areas, as well as boasting incredible tutors and resources that put the tools wholly in the students’ hands.
The nature of a university that relies on the students to manage themselves can pose as a challenge, and did for me for a long time, however I found that over time it pushed me to develop better a work ethic and mentality surrounding productivity.
Also, I have found that during my courses, my tutors have been incredibly supportive at any point in which I’ve sought out assistance.
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!!

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!

View moreI 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.
