Hi Dean, great to hear of a success story and glad to hear disclosure didn't lead to disappointment. I'm sure it'll be a fascinating course. 
Can I ask, what made you choose that course and what are your hopes afterward?

Hi Mr W

So I picked: 

BA(hons) History and international relations or BSc(hons) Psychology. I did a CBA table but they were very much so tied. Then I just tossed a coin. 

The more I have done it and got involved at Unviersity, and I am doing very well on my course so far(the typical mark I recieve on an assignment is 2:1) and I have been participating in experiments. Afterwards I'd like to do a masters in a similar subject.  

Sounds like it's going really well on the education and social side, great news, good luck!

Thought I’d pop back and say after the application process with the OU and a risk assessment form my officer completed which I got to see and was very fair, it went to a panel and I was allowed to start my course but with restricted access which basically means that I don’t have access to the forums section of my module website and the OU email system nor can I attend live tutorials (but can access the recordings), everything else I can access.

Once end of May is here when everything ends in terms of SHPO etc. I have been told to inform the relevant team at the OU and it will go back to the panel and I should get full access.

It’s going really well, I am enjoying my course, tutor knows my circumstances and is great and submitted my first assignment so awaiting the results and feedback.
