So far have done the MU120, and doing the MST 121. (but only have 40 points banked so far) with OU.

I would like to do it full time at the local uni but worry with a) being able to afford it, and b) the stress of doing that as well - althou it can't be worse than I currently have - working 27.5 hours a week plus the courses plus being a lone parent.

What would I gain money wise to go to uni full time? (it would be next sept and DS would be at school by then so wouldn't nec. need child care.

Ultimatly I want to be a maths teacher. Help!

(do I even have enough points to go straight into uni - will have 60 by the time this one has finished. and good grades at GCSE level.)

x any thoughts?

Unless your part time job pays very well, you may find yourself better off as a full time student.

Lone parents get a lot of financial help whilst at uni.
