I haven’t found the course very engaging or interesting, however the layout of the study materials has been really easy to follow and there’s been lots of support available from the university if needed. Because the Open University is always provided online the experience hasn’t really been impacted by the pandemic and I still feel like you are getting the same value for money as before.

This isn’t relevant as the course is entirely online.

I don’t know what support is offered in these situations but you can always contact the tutors if you have an issue with anything.

The course is all online as it is with the Open University. There are study days usually but obviously not since the pandemic. They do offer online study groups where you can ask your tutor questions and most tutors are really responsive if you contact them with an issue, and have been really understanding about providing extensions with everything that’s gone on the last year!

They send emails about graduate days but I haven’t attended any of them as I already have a job.

My overall experience with The Open University has been positive. I personally find that it is much more convenient to be able to study at a time that best suits me and tutorials are well organised. Although it is distanced learning, The Open University provide a forum to communicate with others on the same course so students don’t feel isolated. I’m really happy with my decision to study with The Open University and the support I have received has been brilliant. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in this academic year, tutorials have remained online and tutors have always been available to offer support and guidance. I would definitely definitely recommend studying with The Open University and I look forward to continuing my studies in the future.

I have not ever attended face to face tutorials, books and any additional items needed to complete the course are promptly delivered.

Access to mental health support is very good, it is very easy to get in contact with The Open University and advisors have always been friendly.

The tutorials are online and are provided in the morning and evening to fit around other commitments. Also, some tutorials are recorded so you’re able to listen back at a convenient time. Tutors are very helpful and available to help when required.

Career support is available.
