I did mine in1996 to 1999 as a mature student and married with a full time job averaging 52 hours per week. I got an honours degree in Electrical Engineering after 3 years study and now live and work in Canada with a 6 figure salary. With the OU, the world is your oyster
Hey that's amazing congrats!
What university?
😁 I'm Inspired.. Thank you.

Hi si, did you find your job easily?
thank you so much for making this, i suffer from anxiety and really didn't enjoy my "face to face" university experience and had to drop out. i had no idea that attaining a degree from home was even possible, this video was super helpful! x
Laura Wright Hi Laura, no problem! I used to suffer with anxiety and dropped out of college and thought I would have no hope of getting a degree without any A levels, the open university has given me that opportunity and I have so much control over my studies it's perfect! All the best for what ever study route you decide to take and feel free to get in touch 😀 xx
hey this is the exact same reason I've moved to the open university! I moved my credits across from my old because I had such bad anxiety when attending Kent. Hoping open university is a better option x
OU is definitely an option - your costs will be a lot lower than they would be at a "brick" university, as it's only part-time and can be made to fit around other commitments (work, kids, ect). You could even do an Open degree (hint, hint, hint...) where you can "mix and match" modules from different faculties to suit your needs.

Laura Wright I have that same problem and this is a big help
Q4- Is it a real degree?
YES!
Absolutely. My BSc (Hons) was recognized in Germany without any trouble at all.
@@lexifillemsDinsdale thank you for sharing this, I have questions about the recognition in Germany is there any way to contact with you, for that.
Watched the whole video fast forwarded 1.5, it was perfect.
Thanks for this!!
Thanks bro
Well done. You just proved your self your high IQ level 😂
gee thanks ❤️
I was watching it at 200x speed. Perfect for me.
I found this SO helpful - thankyou!! I'm 18 and ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and therefore feel doing a degree with the OU as oppose to a 'brick uni' is going to be much more achievable for me :)
@Star of Europa heres a fact, youre a twat.
Another fact..''The star of Europa stands for the ideals of unity, solidarity and harmony among the peoples of Europe''.
Oh the irony. Twat.
So it seems, anything you say is made up. Twat. :)
This video helped so much, I'm looking on enrolling in October this year! I have had such bad anxiety and I don't think I could handle the usual university route! really helpful video, thank you x
All the best with your degree! 😀 xx
I am from Open University from Malaysian country proud to be graduate soon..
Cool bro
Hey, Im from Malaysia too.. is there any ways to contact you?
Hi can I contact you, I'm also a Malaysian who wishes to take this opportunity
Open university First class Honours in law graduate here. Just to reassure people, I've been to a few law networking events and my OU degree and the class that I achieved is very highly respected.
Please give me details on the law course i.e, fee, eligibility, duration, and syllabus. Thanks
Hi! I’m starting the law course in October, I have an a level in law and was wondering how different it is and how the workload is?
Pippa Darcey Pegg that’s the one! X
I'm thinking of studying law, have you been able to find any work in the sector I have heard its hard
What are you doing now?
OMG you're doing so much at the same time oO I really admire you, I work part-time as a French tutor with nothing else going on at the same time apart from daily life, and I still get overwhelmed from time to time xD
It''s now a long time hence, since you posted this video. As a current student (one of the old aged ones) I think you've done a good job of explaining how OU works. It still has the same system, with perhaps a more updated 'Student home page'.. I'm working on an Open degree, mainly because I will not be going back to work. But, you explained really well how flexible OU is, in terms of changing the courses and type of degree should a student want to.
Nice video!
I have a 1st class honours BSc from the OU, I started in Bristol in 1989 because I was bored with TV, Finished from Denver Colorado in 1998 because my job moved, real distance learning! Took off the year I moved and was already back peddling waiting for the BSc to be introduced so ended up doing a full 480 credit degree alongside a full time job as a Software Developer. I paid for my first course out of my own pocket but changed jobs about 3/4 of the way through that first year, the final interview was about an hour of which I'd estimate 15-20 minutes was spent talking about the OU & why I was taking classes, can't say for sure but suspect it was a significant factor in getting the job offer. With the benefit of an enlightened employer my degree cost about £1250 most of that because the US reimbursement was only 75% vs 100% for a distinction level pass in the UK. That said most of my experience pre-dates online study, although I have 13 MOOCs, including the Stanford AI Class, to my credit since.
As to recognition, don't know what the score is today, but based on interviews over the years I'd say the biggest perceived job benefit is what the study effort says about the individual (I think it well worth up-selling at an Interview). In my day fitting anywhere from 300-600 hours of study over roughly an 8 month period alongside a full time job made potential employers sit up and take notice. over roughly a 45 year career I've had 12 interviews and 11 Job offers, 7 of those ,not including the lack of an offer form the BBC, after starting with the OU.
Career wise your milage may vary but I've found an OU Degree a plus. With the winds of retirement whistling through these here old bones it might be fun to do a second degree but being 'overseas' even if possible to study from the US these days the associated cost would likely be prohibitive.
sometimes its not what you learn but your dedication and motivation for learning. in that respect an Open University degree is more impressive as a reflection of yourself
I agree. I was crap at school and went on to get a first at the OU. Hard work, but I loved it, and I miss it.
After 20 years in the same job I decided to study for a degree to help my future career prospects. I started in October 2018, studied full time whilst working part time, and submitted my last assignments in June 2021. I’ve just been awarded a 2.1 BA (Honours) in Business Management (Leadership Practice). I would highly recommend the Open University, the study materials online and in print are really good, as are the online tutorials. The tutors were really helpful and were always available for guidance either on the phone or online. I’m so pleased I decided to do it. Looking forward to getting back to full time work, onward and upward…
Hi! I'm planning on enrolling into the exact same specialization, and I'd love to know how your career prospects have looked in the last 2 years if possible!
This video is very well done! It explains the OU very well. Wish I had seen this before I started with the ou. I was so anxious and had no clue about the Facebook groups 😂
Rachel C ahh I hope this has made you less anxious! The Facebook groups can be a lifesaver, you know you aren't alone then 😀 xx
I'm starting my OU journey in April 2020 , I've decided to take the Master of engineering course. Found your video really helpful , greetings from Croatia.
Hi Karlo, how have you found this course so far?. I'm thinking about starting this course and studying it part time. I haven't studied properly since 2011.
@@cavanlad100 This whole corona situation kinda messed up my plans , so I'm not taking any courses at the moment.
Great video, thanks for posting. In second year of environmental science BSc degree, and it's been the toughest year so far. But if you find what it is you want to do you'll enjoy the those tough times.
Good luck with the rest of your studies.
Bertie Kemp Thank you and best of luck to you too! 😊
Bertie Kemp I'm planning on starting that course this year! What's the what can I expect?
Hey Bertie, I'm looking at starting the same degree ( BSc Environmental Science). The only thing I am worrying about is the maths side of it, have you found the maths difficult or managable would you say? ( I got a C at maths GCSE so pretty average at it)
Thank you so much for explaining this. Can be a nightmare to understand all the different rules etc.
Just an advice for those who of you who're considering to enroll in OU degree, just make sure whether your degree is recognised in your country or not. But for those who had completed their degree in a country where it's not recognised, there are only one way to overcome this issue, which is relocate to other countries where your degree is recognised. I'm a Malaysian and OU degree is not recognised in my own country, so I made the decision to work abroad in a foreign country.
Hi there. I am a malaysian too. I am also thinking of doing a masters degree in an OU. May I know which OU did you go to and what countries recognize OU certs?
@@cottonlarry8470 As far as I've known, there are only few countries that recognises OU degree, mostly Europe regional countries. Never heard that OU degree was recognised in any Asian countries, I quit OU and transfer to University of London to complete my degree online. It's more recognisable and creditable in terms of reputation and quality.
@@diana.tan_ I am a bit confused. So you continue ur Bachelors at UoL without starting over again, or, you have ur OU Bachelors cert and UoL recognized it so u can proceed to take Masters Degree at UoL?
@@cottonlarry8470 I withdraw myself from OU on the halfway while I'm completing my bachelor's degree. Most university in UK don't recognize degree from OU
So I couldn’t go back to university last year and had to take a gap year. I have applied for BSc natural sciences (biology) degree and luckily they have given me 150 credits from my previous studies. So now I will be doing 90 credits this year to complete a full 240 credits. Wish me luck people. I’d love an update :)
Was your previous study related to natural science?
@@serveywow Hi Monty :) so basically at brick uni I was doing BioMedical Science. I have completed my 90 credits with the OU last June and had 240 credits achieved. In October 2020 I started my final year with OU. At the time I applied I had to choose the degree ‘BSc Hons Natural Science (Biology)’ tbh I wasn’t happy with that title for me personally as it’s not specific to the career I’ll be starting and what I want to progress in. Luckily for me the OU last year have new titles and new degrees so I switched to the new degree, it took 3-6 months transferring my 240 credits and the OU had to make sure everything fits within the degree I wanted to do. In Feb 2021 they agreed and my new degree title is ‘BSc Hons Biology’ :) I did 120 credits this year, my exams are in June 2021 and my project will be due on August 31st. I hopefully will be graduating at the end of 2021. Let me know if you want any info etc or anything:)
Thanks, Heather, I just sorted out many doubts about studying at the Open University, your speaking is so clear and helpful.
I’m currently studying at a campus base university, and due to my Generalised Anxiety Disorder, I find it really had to make it to lectures regularly. I’m doing Engineering so also need to attend labs. However, I feel I work much better from home. I’m thinking of doing an open university degree, after I’ve finished my current degree.
My mums also just had unfortunately been made redundant And is also thinking of doing an open university degree, as she didn’t get a degree when she was younger.
Starting 120 credits in computing and it this October, can’t wait to get into it xD.. ohh and i’m working full time as a night porter so i hope i’m gonna be able to handle everything and get on over 8.5 😁 .
Shadwow A hi i am also studying IT and computing. I recently took break but i am starting again in Oct 2019 what stage are u on?
@@yaminasohail10 Hey. Which modules did you choose? I'm starting this October but I've studied IT for the last five years at A-Level equivalent. Just wondering if the course is challenging enough.
I've just enrolled in OU this morning, this video was super super helpful! Thank you :)
why there is no entry requirements
Thank you for making this video!!!!!!!!! Honestly, you have no idea how much I appreciate it. I don't know why I didn't consider the open university sooner.
Hi, what a great video I have started as Student Support at the OU and it is great to see feedback from Students! Enjoy your course and keep the videos coming!
Karen Wyness Thank you so much for your comment 😀
Karen Wyness is the arab open university degree also the same and respected in uk ?
I'm studying my Master of Distance Education degree at University of The Philippines Open University. So far, it is both hard and enjoyable.
After graduation can you proceed to PhD in other conventional universities?
Just to add, that some modules do require that you buy additional books to the text books provided. English Lit. modules have a long list of set books for eg and History modules usually have at least one additional text book to purchase. These are always listed in the module descriptions though so that you can see what you would need to buy and there's nothing wrong with buying second-hand!
Can't you get them on the OU library for free?
Love this thank you ☺ I struggle my self with anxiety and migraines. I dropped out of my access because I just can't do class rooms 🙈 and being a fulltime working mum its hard to stcick to classes. I do have time to study and am looking at STEM degree. X
Did you start a STEM degree? I am doing TM111 at the moment 😀
I just grauated from OU in Greece, fifty years old and almost every day migraines. Just do it!
Due to my Ocd& fear of germs I am unable to do actual uni even though I have the grades too. So I’ve just enrolled for open uni so excited to start
how is it
Are you really that nice in real life?
Thank you for your video, I'm starting my course in October and was worrying about the price of textbooks, glad I get them in my pack 🙂. I can't wait to start!
Extremely helpful & good luck with the baby hope it brings you happiness.
I've just found your video as I'm considering ou! This was really helpful thank you I can't wait to get started x
Hi! I go to Arab OU which is a university that has an arrangement with the OU. When we graduate we get two degrees from the Ou and AOU. Also, all of our books and CDs are from the OU. Good luck!
Bayan M thank you and good luck to you too! 😀
Hey bayan you advice me to go to AOU?
me too!! ... our university is accredited with the open university [UK]
Really useful video, thank you! I'm starting French in October!
I'm finishing a BA (Hons) in business management, it took me 4 years to complete and cost roughly £9,000. In my opinion, if at all possible you should go through a brick-and-mortar learning provider. The OU mark a lot harsher than traditional universities but do not provide the same level of tuition. The tutors are inattentive and underpaid and therefore strike regularly. The degrees are not accredited the same i.e. you do not receive a 2:1 or First in your relevant subject, rather a 'grade 2 pass' etc. This has confused some people when graduating and I assume it may also raise some eyebrows during a job interview. All in all, I wouldn't have studied through the OU if it wasn't my only option. In short
PROs - low academic barriers to entry, slightly cheaper than traditional universities, the flexibility of learning
CONS - Lower quality tuition, lack of social learning, harder to receive decent grading, differences in final grading terminology, and complete lack of transparency of how assignments are marked and incoherent guidance to students.
In summary, if it's your only option go for it. If you have any way of attending a traditional uni then I would strongly advise it! It's slightly more expensive, but it's well worth it to get proper tuition and to gain from the social aspect of learning.
It's slightly confusing but not that difficult to convert.
Distinction = 1st = First class honours
Grade 2 = 2:1 = Upper Second Class
Grade 3 = 2:2 = Lower second class
Grade 4 = 3rd = Third class
I've only seen these grades used for module results. Usually the actual OU degree certificates state the same formal classification as a traditional uni
this was so helpful! thank you for making this ive just transferred my credits across from another university to the open university so am starting my second year Business management too. You've given me a lot of faith this will be a better option for me!
Jo campion so glad my video has helped you feel at ease 😀 xx
Thank you so much for this video! I'm from Argentina and currently looking into studying Criminology with The Open University.
good job dear
we openers are the best
if anyone want to study with open university then go for it because its the best.
YOU, are an inspiration! Well done Heather.
The video was very interesting and informative. I have already done Level 1 of my chosen subject but it was a couple of years ago and (as mentioned in your video) was allowed to defer for personal reasons. . I have subscribed to more videos because I am sure there will be more pointers that will help me with the planning etc. for Level Two.
Janet Taylor thank you so much Janet! I have a Q&A video already scheduled that will be up before the end of this month, I also have some study tip videos planned ready for before modules kick start again in September/October so hopefully they will be up before then! Although my baby is due any day so hoping to fit filming around my new schedule! 😀
What a lovely young lady Heather is, coming out with some sound reassuring advice, and what a lovely warm voice she has. I gained my BA degree in December 2005 with the OU. I really enjoyed my field of studies there.
I did a Masters in Manufacturing Technology, MBA and Finance with the OU. I found it to be outstanding quality.
I also studied at The University of Oxford for a post grad qualification afterwards, a different brilliant experience but I didn't feel OU study a was lesser educator because of it.
Here's the funny thing all Universities now do some or more distance learning so the boundaries are breaking in differences. Plus diayance learning works better for people who learn better at their own pace.
OU also has high independent quality accreditations eg MBA. So recommend it
This has been very helpful for me and a decision I'm yet to make.
Thank god I found this! I'm planning on commencing study oct 2020 and my anxiety over work load and how it all works had me doubting if I could do it but I'm feeling so much better now 😍
I am 15 years old, I live in Ukraine and I started Essential Mathematics 1 module (MST124) today!! I'm so excited to study!! I feel like this is such an amazing experience, thank you for your video!
Also I didn't know about that earlier, but I found out that it is possible to study more than one module at the same time, and I am wondering - if I have already started MST124, can I somehow register to M140 before February? Officially M140 started on 6th of October, but as I can see on schedule, they start working on November, so... Or maybe would that be too much for the first year? Thank you for your answer, xo
Hello Heather. Love your content.
I live in Scotland, which means, as a Scottish resident I am only paying 2.000 pounds a year as a full time student at the Open Uni.
I lived in England before, although I miss England but it seems to be beneficial to be a Scottish resident.
Congratulations on the bump!!
Haha thank you! Bump is now a happy, healthy 8 month old little girl 🙈
Scotland has part time fee waiver option for 120 credits as open university is not classed as full time, so as being Scottish, I can do full time on PT basis
I'm scared to start studying but i really want to learn. I couldn't even do Alevels cause it would have been difficult for me
Bit late but you can do A levels online too. Open study college is very good for this and what i plan to do.
Hi Heather! After watching two of your very informative videos about the OU, I noticed that you are or maybe now were... studying a Business Management (Honours) degree. I myself would potentially be interested in enrolling into this course and maybe specializing in Marketing in 2020 or 2021. Unfortunately there seems to be a lack of information online from students that are on this course or have already completed it. So as it seems that it's already been a couple of years since you originally posted your videos. How in regards to the degree are you getting on now? Would you still recommend this particular degree with the OU? There are many recent online negative reviews about the OU mainly complaining about the lack of student support and apparently a somewhat unfair grading system. In your personal experience in regards to this course would you agree with these complaints? Also if by any chance you have already completed this course, how much would you say that the degree has positively affected you employability? Many thanks for any answers to these questions. And if I may finally add, I think myself and potentially many others would be very thankful if you were to post a new informative "update" video, telling us about how now you would view the course, pros and cons and any personal recommendations in regards to this particular course now that you must have acquired much more knowledge about the course in question. Many thanks again.
Vince
Hi and thank you so much for your comment, I've just finished my degree and got my results today 😁 I'll be filming an update video very soon so that should be on my channel in the next couple of weeks, I'll answer as many questions as I can in that video and give my opinions overall of my experience! 😁
I’m going to train to become a paramedic so I was wondering if I could study paramedicine with the OU and if I can then I will definitely do it.
This is a really silly question, but how long did it take for you to be accepted onto your course? I’ve applied for a BSc Hons Biology course and I’m so impatient!🥴 Thankyou Xo
Did u get in x
Hi. Thanks for this video! I’m pregnant and considering doing an OU degree, starting in October. My son is due in July. I was wondering, how did you find studying when your baby was born? This is my first baby, so I’m considering weather or not I’ll be able to manage the degree and working part time with a newborn. 😊 thank-you.
All I can say is WOW!!!!
Thank you for the video, really helpful and informative. Hope the rest of your pregnancy went well. I'm Currently working 30hrs a week, have 2 children under 2 and I'm wanting to study Business Management too... is it a good course and do-able with the time constraints of parenthood?
I've been considering taking a OU course for a while. When it was first brought up, the lack of entry requirements lead me to believe it is essentially "University for dummies". I didn't do well in school, at all. The highest grade I got in anything was a D in English; everything else was E's, F's and a G, I'm ashamed to admit. This lead me to believe for many years to come that I'm just unintelligent. I'd like to take an Open Uni course, but at the same time, considering my poor results, is this just giving up on any effort to go to an actual academy?
If you think a brick uni is better, do an access course at a brick uni. If you want to do the OU, I would recommend doing an access course even though you don't need to. Or any course that will get you used to writing academic essays, finding journal articles, referencing and all that good shit.
The video deserves a thumbs-up for its coherence and info provisioning. Thank you so much. However, as an international student, I am wondering if the OU is a bit out of its league going by tuition fee. I see some renowned universities offering full-time degrees barely eclipsing the OU fee bracket. While I understand that OU offers flexibility in terms of pursing a degree under limitations - ex: age, edu. background, personal situations etc.- I ain't sure if their tuition fee standards as of now is helping. For me, clearly not. Anyone with similar thoughts?
The OUs tuition fees are cheaper than most UK "brick" universities, I'm intrigued are any of the renowned universities you have seen with cheaper fees based in the UK? I'd be interested to check them out. 😊 I can't comment in the price comparison between the UK and other international universities unfortunately, our government has a lot of control over fees rather than the individual universities.
Hoping to get my start with OU at the next intake, want to do History and Politics, just hoping to get sorted with Student Finance England sorted soon
Thanks for the help answered all my questions
I have always wanted to do a part time BSc in Mathematics, but it will not help my career much (P.S. I am a Civil/Hydraulics Engineer)
So many questions I needed answers to...thank you.
Hello Heather, great video! Would like to ask how many hours you are studying per day, even knowing the website says 32-40 hours per week, I would love to know practically how many hours it is... Thank you
Hi, I had a few questions and wanted to get your input: Training is not strictly linear - learners can take his /her own path through the material?
If I would enroll for a Bachelor’s degree. Would I automatically recieve a Certificate of Higher Education after finishing the first year’s modules?
Is there a limit to how many open university courses you can take?
18k for 3 years? It says like 1.5k per year on their website? 😩
thank you for this video Heather! I was just wondering, do you get any points where you fall behind because I do and I get so upset with myself
Do you have in open University online classes
This video was very helpful thank you:)
Umit Hayim No problem thank you 😀 xx
How many hours did you study for subject/module? 3 for day? 2?
I’m not familiar with word excel. I can write normal letter. Do I need to be expert in Microsoft word? I’m doing health social care
Thanks for the video. Really useful. 👍🏻
do we have to attend university or it is all hundred percent online. i mean i am from Nepal and can i do open university?
Karma Sherpa this year I have studied 100% online but you will need to check on their website if you can study in Nepal, they offer international study but I do not know for which countries. 😊
Can anyone clarify? On the OU website it says my modules begin in October and end in June, however it also says the two module certificate takes two years to complete with a time limit of seven years.. So when June comes around, what happens?
thank you for your sharing. very useful and valuable information. ^^
Hi, I'm from Brazil, and I'd like to study de Natural Science Degree with focus in Biology, but my question is if the OU is free.
I am a bit preemptive because I thought the university was free, and I saw ue there are fees that are paid in £. I am unemployed and my country is still recovering from an economic crisis.
Hi Alef, there are fees for UK students but it may differ for your country, you would be best to enquire with the open university student support team, there may be further support you could be entitled to with fees or it may work differently 😊 sorry I can't answer your question entirely!
Thank you Heather! I will send them a message to have more information! :D
THANK YOU, got a lot of useful information with your video!
Thank you that has calm my nerve. I will check out open learn. I will call them and tell them my situation and see what they say.
Such great help! Thankyou

hello, I am very interested in enrolling in a degree in mathematics at the Open University.
I wanted to know if there are video lessons on the topics for each course.
Thanks for any reply.
Hi! Thank you very much for this video! I am thinking to start OU this autumn , however i have few doubts : first- how they taking exams , how to know what about they will be and etc ? Second - English is my second language , I already finish few NVQ's here but still worrying about my english ... probably my questions sounds silly, just want to know more about how people study there and prepare for exams and finish them subject ?
Hi Laura, your modules will lead up to your exams over time and build a layer of knowledge so you will be prepared for them, most of the time past papers are also available as well as practice questions so you will know what to expect. Many people on my module are in the same situation as you and English is their second language, I think it will all depend on how competent you are with the language as the OU involves a lot of independent study as it is predominantly distance learning. If you have already completed some NVQs in English then you should have a high enough standard of English for it not to be a problem but there is a page you can visit that talks more about studying with English as a second language which you may find helpful www.open.ac.uk/courses/do-it/english-skills 😊
This was very helpful, thank you.

Is it possible to do open degree without school education ?
Very helpful, Thanks!!
Is there is any medicine course in OU please give me details of the same
Mahesh Shah I am studying “science and health” BSc Hons, so yes, there are plenty of pathways to many courses
@@louisedurham4573 thanks. Please let me know details of the BSc science and health i.e. , which university. Fee, eligibility, duration, and syllabus. Thanks
Hy there , i wonder if i can study on the the open university without speak ingles very well , my course in specific is webdesing and software engineer
Thank you
No you can't because the examinations are held to same standard as other universities in England (I actually mean England not the UK) and you wouldn't survive 3.5 hours computer science exams without a good command of English. Exams in England are mainly written exams not multiple choice exams.
How can be The Open University, somebody padlocked. It & now it's The Closed University.
Extremely helpful! Thank you so much for making these videos! I have another question though sorry :'D Do they require like some proof that you will be able to pay it? My current work situation is complicated and I don't plan on taking on any loans (because I would most likely not be eligible anyway)
Teodora Djakovic no problem! If you are paying yourself I believe each module you enrol on needs to be paid up front, so you do not need to pay for the whole degree in one go. In which case proof of income won't be necessary but you would need to have funds available before starting each module. There may be other payment options though, the fees and funding page I've linked in the description will give way more detail and there should be contact details for OU advisors on the site if needed 😊
