Is it worth to study at the OU (Open Univeristy)? The adviser never has time to talk to us or they take to?

Question

long to reply to our emails; I don't know how to start a course since it is not explainned on the website how to start a full time course plus I don't really know if it is a good online uni anyway. What is your experience with OU?

Answer 1

It is frustrating sometimes as they are just so focused on the academia way and not how things work in the real world so if you are like me an already an expert in my field and doing the degree to get the qual on papers it's hard going at times.

The OU actually rates quite high in the Uni rating tables I was surprised as it came above some of the big names out there.

Good thing is you can do it at your own pace but it's expensive at times.

I contacted them through their website and applied for my first course after I decided which Bachelors to do as all the information is on the site.
