BSc psychology

University rating (5)

It's great because you do everything when you have time. The coarse tells you how much time you will need and you fit it in around your circumstances. The OU library is available 24 hours a day so always someone to help no matter what the time. The forums always have someone up late or really early! The tutors provide excellent feedback and are quick to respond

My studies fit in around my work and social life; I study when it's convenient for me and the tutor support and student community in the online forums is wonderful.

Even though we as Open University students study alone the OU has a great student association that works really hard to bring students together virtually and in person
