Open universities Australia is a very well run organisation. THe help you get either by phone or through the chat facility is excellent. The course materials are excellent and it is a great way of studying as an adult. I am able to work my time table around family and work commitments.
Studying through Open Universities has allowed ne to get a degree while being able to stay at home with my son.
good to know they're pretty flexible, it's always a juggle when you've got kids xx
I really enjoyed doing my subject through open universities. The proffessor assigned to our course was knowledgable and interested and helpful. The DVD's and course notes were in depth and the library sent out the books needed straight away by courier. The online chat with other distant students was helpful and broke down the barrier of studying by corresspondance.
Approximate cost: $600 per subject
yeah i guess being on your own is a bit hard, but hey at least you learn to be heaps independent!
