Seriously considering doing an open degree over a broad range of subjects in my spare time. Always enjoy learning about things and I may as well have a qualification out of it and some structure to it.

I have already completed a full time masters degree so have some idea of the difficulty of the work, but nothing specific of the OU

Has anyone tried it? Any comments on the courses, problems, usefulness?

Cheers

Having already done a university degree and being in a good job on good money I will most likely have to pay for it myself.

How are the courses, well explained and easy enough to follow?

I'm half way through an MBA.

Most Universities offer distance learning now so you’re not stuck with TOU. Be warned though it is quite expensive if you are sponsoring yourself (my MBA is around 15k self sponsored).

My advice would be to shop around and speak to as many as you can before you make your choice.

Its not the distance learning that attracts me to the OU but the freedom of course choice in their open degree.

I hadnt realised it was quite that much, I was looking at a BA(Hons) over 3 years carrying 60 credits from my existing degree and estimated 6-8k total.

Shall have to do some research into which universities offer wide ranging composite courses.
