Started another degree after studying at Aberystwyth to do something more analytical but couldn't afford to go back to University so this was the next best option. Overall very pleased with the helpfulness of the staff and the books provided. However, it isn't easy and you have to really be motivated and determined to make yourself work. If you are the sociable type, you may struggle. You can always meet people via the facebook groups and tutorials but of course, this doesn't really compare to meeting people daily in a red brick University though. This is a great alternative if you want a degree but don't want to or can't afford to go to University, or if you want to work full time and get a degree.

Good considering that it is distance learning.

My tutors have been excellent and the University provides a great deal of support.

There is more now than there has been previously. Not a great choice but as this is distance learning it does the best it can.

The majority of the work you have to teach yourself, they provide the books and you do the reading and you are regularly assessed through essays and exams. All of my modules have had tutorials so I can see people face to face and have been great so far.

OK so I haven't finished my degree yet but my employer is impressed that I am gaining work experience and getting a degree at the same time. It looks good on your CV as shows that you have the determination and self motivation.
