Hi Guys,
I can't afford to go to university full time, I'm 24 and have lots of bills to pay and need to continue at full time work.
I want to start a degree with the open university studying Psychology.
Has anyone studied with the OU? how did you find the teaching/support? Was it easy to self teach?
I'm on 12,500 wages before tax, how much financial support did you get?
Any help warmly appreciated.
Thanks in advance:D

Also they are not cheap if you have to pay for them yourself, but the financial support section will list if you can get stuff paid for http://www3.open.ac.uk/studyatou/apply/financial-support.shtml
Firstly thank you for your reply.
Also the link was fab, apparently I am eligible for a full grant going to try and pursue this further.
Can I ask what course you studied? and If a degree how long it has taken you to complete. I am aiming to get my head down and aim for 3 years.
Many thanks again
Just wanted to say thanks lots for all your replies.
I decided to take the plunge and start the first part of my course on the 2nd of May - really excited!:yippe:
Decided I needed to do this and if I dislike it or fail at least I tried.
Thanks again
