I chose The Open University because I needed to be able to do distance study whilst also working. As a parent that was very important for me.
The OU is an institution that puts emphasis on the students. The tutors are very supportive and the way the modules are built up makes it easy to grasp even if you’re not studying in a classroom setting.
Another attractive part of The OU is the fact that they offer free modules so you can see what the structure of studying is really like.
I recommend The OU for people who juggle other things in their life such as a job, children etc.
