invergowrie arab Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The missus did her ou degree whilst working full time. Took her about 6 years I think. It seemed to come in fits and starts. A month or two of modules then a month or two off. She was working in really hard when she had assignments to do but she managed so it's obviously doable.

throbber Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I think i might try do open university for last 2 years of study after i get my HND and hopefully get a job, even if it takes a few years to do it will be worth it. Being a full time student is doing my head in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome Devil Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Just about to start my second year of Law. Found the first year fairly tame but have just taken delivery of a mountain of books for the first half of this module. Coupled with working full time and a 3 month old baby I can see this being a struggle. I have read that some companies do not look favourably on an OU degree. Has anyone found this to be the case? Don't fancy slogging it out to discover the degree is barely recognised. If that's the case, other suggestions for distance learning universities which have a good reputation would be appreciated.

RH33 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'd suggest checking if its recognised by the governing body of chosen field as a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_blue Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Bump Having a look into doing either the computing and I.T diploma on a part time basis which will take 3-4year or contemplating wether to just go with the degree which studying part time will take 6 years . Any of the previous posters started their course yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 To anyone that's gone through OU: How is course work accessed through the web (if at all)? Do you get a personal ID which lasts a set period of time or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingette Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I did a certificate with them a couple of years ago to get exemptions on another programme. It is tough forcing yourself to get tma's done when the sun is shining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDcups Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 What course did you do? They phoned me tonight to reserve a place just wondering if it's any good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'm working towards a BA in childhood studies. I transferred 180 credits from my DipHE in primary education. Doing one 2nd yr module this yr and it's been fine. Doing both third year ones next year. Hoping if I stay well to do a pgce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
