You put do a Masters then. I thought you meant without an undergraduate degree as I know people who just have a postgraduate Masters but no undergraduate degree. They did their degrees aged 30+.Comment

The OU used to allow you to do a taught Masters without a undergrad degree first. Not sure if that's still the case.
Entry
To study this module, you must hold a UK honours degree (or equivalent), preferably with at least a 2:1 classification. You must be studying towards either the MA in Classical Studies or the MA/MSc Open.

I'm currently very grumpy with the OU and am not inclined to recommend them as a route to higher education any more.Comment

It depends on what you are studying and your experience in the area."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

It wasn't until I was 2 years in to the MBA they told me the points carry over as a level 4 regardless of the results of the MBA so effectively destroying any chance of even a 2.1, borderline not even a 2.2 even though I'd been hovering around the top of a 2.1 with a chance of a first if I'd really pulled my finger out the last 2 years.
I was so annoyed I'd put 8 years of work in and would struggle to even get a 2.2 I couldn't carry on so ended all that with just a degree without honours and half an MBA. I was already too old for it to matter so no biggie job wise but to say I was deflated was an understatement.
I'm sure it's still very good and still have great respect that people that have done the OU but can't get over being thoroughly F'd over by them.

It is. Two degrees, heavily based on points and the MBA people just aren't combined with the Degree even though they sit in the same damn building. Talk to each other and work out that someone getting back to back distinctions in the MBA is worth a bit more than a level 4 pass in a degree. They could (should) have fixed it by now but they hadn't when I was in.Comment
