Open University course

Hey i am going be starting an open uni course in October.
It is a Business degree i am going to be doing and was wondering if anyone on here has ever done a distance course and enjoyed it?

Brisk.

What's an open course? distance?

I did. It works, at the distance, if you are committed to putting the time in and juggling work, etc. I got a First for my BA (Hons), then went on to do an MA, both with the OU. After that, I followed the more conventional route and am doing my PhD at Essex. The OU's fantastic. It changes lives for the better.

I looked at some courses with the OU many times but decided to go to a brick and mortar University in the end. I'm still tempted to continue my studies this way once I graduate. It will take a lot of commitment and time management more so than your standard University but if you can take the challenge on i'm sure it will be great.

Good luck

Oh and i'm studying Business too so if you need any advice or old textbooks you know where to go

I used to be a music student which covered some business in the music world but was mostly performance.
What jobs are you hoping to go for in the near future?
