It’s great because it’s flexible around your life and work. There are lots of students in a similar position to me but also a variety of people- all ages and backgrounds. Student support is great and learning is very clear and structured. The only downside to not attending a physical university is that it can be hard to be motivated at times to get the work done, but then this can happen at any university!

Online learning is offered through structured week by week time table, all deadlines are shared in advance and you sign up to tutorials online, there is a big choice when it comes to choosing a date for a tutorials and tutors are always available to connect with. The hours advertised online are quite generous and it often takes me less time to complete reading and activities than I think it will

Studying at Open University has been great. Being able to complete courses online at my own pace with full support from my tutor has been amazing. I'm able to fit studying in between my full time job and other carer responsibilities. Anytime I have a problem, student support has been right there to help me, including helping me set up disability accommodations.

I've found my courses very accessible and easy to work through
