The Open University is for people who want to choose when and where they study. It's perfect for people with jobs, children, disabilities or commitments that make it hard to go to a fixed place.
The Open University offers a flexible approach to learning which is particularly suitable for carers whose responsibilities mean that they cannot attend conventional university. Our methods of teaching, learning and continual support help carers overcome the difficulties they have in accessing learning opportunities. All courses are at degree level, and students can study them over a number of years, gaining a degree or diploma at their own pace.
We have some short introductory courses called Openings which are particularly aimed at those wanting to try HE (Higher Education) level study and also test how distance learning fits into their lifestyle. For more information or to order the booklet 'Studying While You Care' call the Open University or visit the website.
