| Comment | I also did an OU degree while working full time, and it worked out well for me - took me 5 years to get a BSc.
However, I would say that the OU is definitely better for some subjects than others, and for the case of something strictly vocational like web development, and if you want certification rather than an actual degree, I would probably look to alternatives like code academy / code clan.
The OU has also almost entirely scrapped all their 'physical' presence (i.e. in-person tutorials, residential courses) which for me was their USP over other distance learning providers. Nowadays the OU is really just one possibility in a whole world of online learning, with nothing specific that sets it apart from other providers. |
