Originally posted by SuperZ View PostThanks for mentioning that, it is something I want to learn and never thought of trying the OU. Living out in the sticks I have been trying to find a tutor but proven impossible out here.
A few years ago I did some Astronomy and Cosmology courses with the OU too - they were all excellent.

The cheapest 10 point courses are about £150 there as some postgraduate/professional qualifications courses can be around £1000.
However the prices are increasing every year by about 4% due to government funding cuts.

Worth noting for anyone thinking of trying the OU, you can use your Tesco Clubcard vouchers to pay for OU courses at 4x face value. In May they're changing the scheme to only cover level 1 courses, although any course you register on before the end of May can be paid for with the vouchers.

I am in my last semester for my BSc and am planning on starting my MSc in September in Construction Contract Law & Dispute Resolution.
You can never have too much education.
I did the BSc on day release the MSc is done in 6nr 3 day blocks per semester, not really looked at OU as I prefer a lecture based approach, but we are all different.

You don't need a Phd to lecture at University - they are crying out for real world experience.

I fancied this one
http://www3.open.ac.uk/study/undergr...ourse/s193.htm
I just want a deeper understanding, I'm not bothered about the qualification, I just want to learn more, also I have a fossil mad daughter (she asked for trilobites for her 7th birthday!)

Wish i'd carried on with it, the dinosaur bits were cool but we did a lot of crystallography which i didn't like at all - all chemistry, meh. Then i swapped to Mining Engineering, that was good.
I originally worked in that stuff but spent a few years logging drill core, not the Indiana Jones stuff i had in my head.
This looks like it'd be good: http://www3.open.ac.uk/study/undergr...urse/sa188.htm

Instead i'm developing Web Services.
Don't know where it all went wrong

Dunno why people spend 3-4 years studying real interesting stuff only to head off in a completely different direction - madness
