Just a small heads up on paying for modules, in Scotland they have the Part-time Fee grant that you can get if you earn under a certain amount and that is not paid back, that can pay the funding for the modules you chose for the year, but you have to chose all in one application

I'm still so confused about how everything works so you can switch from part time to full time or full time to part time anytime you want?

Hi, I have just enrolled onto IT and Design, im a little bit stumped when choosing my modules - there is TM111 TM112 and U101, I see I have to choose 120 credits but I am only part time but the start dates for all these are all around 3 months apart which shows on my study timeline that it is full time, can you shine some light on how i choose these modules please - Thankyou and great videos

I'm starting my OU course BA hons business management in october and I was wondering if the OU has holiday times where no work is done similar to school holidays ,If someone could let me know what the terms are that would help me out a lot :)

Cheers for sharing this mate, gave me a better idea of what to potentially expect with OU, I’m registering through OU for the CyberSec Degree and been out of education for a looooong time lol
Comment from : @djuav

really good what sorts of laptops would you suggest to have for IT students?
Comment from : @nischalthapa4234

Did you know that the OU has employed a crackpot (flying saucers, perpetual motion, 9/11 conspiracy) called Andrew Johnson as a tutor? Do you really want to help to pay his salary?
Comment from : @MrAaronvee

If you pay by instalments what sort of instalments are they? Over the entire year, half the year or just set amounts depending?

Hello TombrHow do i fix the audio and microphone on my computer, i have a Toshiba laptop, it is telling me that it dont have any but it did before
Comment from : @eudorawiggins2400

Hi Tom, how are you mate? I love studying and it makes me more in control when I am in front in my coursework!! Just recently, I got a DM grade in my BTEC Level 3 sport!!! How complex will the answers to the questions be in the first and second year of the level 4 qualification? I am thinking of studying at the OU in the future and I am a confident person But, I would be slightly nervous too, as I wouldn’t want to fail any assessments 👍
Comment from : @craigalderson5623

Thank you! I’m debating to do a health and social care degree with a little one Scared i won’t be able to manage the time! If we ever were to pull out would we still have to pay back the student loan?

Comment from : @acousticsoul_4629

it says on the website that you will be working in group projects, have you worked with other people? I might do the computing and it (software) but i'm nervous in case it's too overwhelming
Comment from : @maximun1691

Says on OU that a full year of 120 credits will cost £2064 and the full course will be around £6k

3/10 chance that you have read atomic habits by james clear
Comment from : @shaikhabdulbasit5717

There are 30 credit modules and 60 credit modules, so you'd only be able to study two 60 credit modules each a year Basically, you're capped at 120 credits a year

Comment from : @winterbird9189

Hi Tom, brbrThanks for the video, I'm just wondering, have you found your second year / third year ( I'm not sure which year you are currently studying ) harder than your first , or would you say they have all been of a similar difficulty? brbrThanks !
Comment from : @saintsrlfckev

Do you think I could start the computing and it coyrse with a C in maths at gcse? Or would you advise re doing it my maths I was fairly smart at a school and did well in all other subjects, but I was quite lazy with math

Comment from : @marciam6178

You may have already answered this but, what’re the job opportunities with an OU degree on your CV? Is there something particular an OU graduate needs to be aware of by having an OU degree? Any advice would be appreciated thank you!
