The Open University - Ratings, Reviews & Ranking

" One of its key benefits is flexibility, allowing students to learn without the need to attend in-person classes. It also provides good support services, including tutors, online forums, and study materials. The costs can be lower than attending a traditional university since you don’t have to pay for travel or accommodation. "

" A great university for people who have to work. Amazing tutors, very well organised, excellent support. The university offers all accreditations you need for the degree to be recognised. Courses delivered online with WhatsApp groups run in a very supportive way - no judgement but amazing support between students. "

" I have found The Open University psychology course very enjoyable. The majority of the tutors are helpful and supportive. Recorded tutorials are useful as you can still view tutorials if you are unable to attend online at a particular time. It would be good if they could bring back face to face tutorials as since covid they have all been online. Overall, I have had a good experience. "

" The university courses are quite intensive, and you do need to have a level of determination to cope with it. Overall, they are generally quite well constructed. Support from the academic staff has generally been really good, particularly when you have personal issues that would require an extension and they seem to be very understanding. "

" Recently for courses that dont require hands on learning everything has been remote including lectures/tutorials so that could be a pro or con depending on your learning style. Very accomodating to for people working full time or other responsibilities. "
