The Open University has a range of prgrammes at all levels from beginner to postgraduate. At levels up to undergraduate there are no entry qualifications required. As long as you are over 18 and want to study, you will be accepted if a place is available on your chosen course. Study is usually from home or your workplace using a mixture of text, internet and other media. There is financial support (often full fees and costs paid) for students who qualify.
