Student review [#35908]
for Economics
at Open University - OU
Milton Keynes, The United Kingdom
The Open University is ideal for those who are working full-time and cannot attend a brick-and-mortar University. I am currently studying a BA Economics degree.
All assignments can be completed online, and the staff are extremely helpful. The only issue that I have encountered with the University at present is the Administration staff from Student Support are very slow to respond. I needed assistance with getting access to my online modules and this took longer than expected to resolve, however my tutors have always got back to me promptly and all of the material is available online. I have found the degree very good value for the amount I have paid.
It is to be noted that although Student Finance will fund the degree, they will not pay any Maintenace loans or grants, for students at the Open University. I am not eligible for any money from those sources.
I would recommend the OU for anyone who is working, and ideally wanting to study in the evening.
