Open Uni

Evening all.

I was curious, if anyone had used Open university before, and whether they found it:

- successful.

- How they found doing distant learning for an undegrad degree.

I have a rough idea of what course i want to complete.

Thanks

Thanks both for the reply.

I have decided to take the plunge, and go for a Bsc in computing and IT(Communications and networks).

My PO keeps talkign about me getting work in an area I have quals in, and I already hold A-levels within computing; just I did Web Development.

I researched this, and because this degree offers the CCNET qualifications within it, that means I will hold the Cisco standard for networking, which in turn should open up more opportunities to me.

I also have a keen interest to computers, and networks generally.

Hi

I did open university in 2008/2009 while inside and did a diploma in business management

have also recently started a law degree with them, have not come across any issues yet

all the best

The only (main issue) I had was that when I applied for a masters I didn't take into account that the bulk of the course relied on me having access or using information gained from previous employment.

In my overzealous search for court references I approached my previous employers... THis meant that I found it impossible to get the details needed to start on the course..
