I am all signed up now to start studying with the OU in October. I have studied with them before although several years ago.

Is anyone else currently studying or signed up to start?

Most modules have Oct or Feb start dates.

I've got an October start all sorted but now I'm getting very nervous Blush

Like the crack of a whip I snap attack. Grin

BSc health science.

I decided to start in October after all because who doesn't need a little extra chaist?

Bineverywhere · 26/08/2018 20:41

Chaos. I don't know what chaist is!

Fakeflowersandlemonade · 27/08/2018 08:56

I thrive on chaos. Can't wait to start now.

I’m starting my second module in October - ready now I think after the summer break which I really needed!! I’m doing geography and environmental science, it’s the science module next and I’m a bit scared of all the maths!

katmarie · 28/08/2018 21:23

I'm starting my 4th module of 6 in October, I'm working towards a degree in social psychology. It's hard sometimes but I've found it very rewarding and empowering.

WooYa · 28/08/2018 21:33

Good luck Whyhellodaffodil! maths scares me too! ConfusedGrin

Bineverywhere · 28/08/2018 21:43

I love maths. No room for interpretation.

Module 5 of 6 of a psychology with counselling degree. DD310 - Mad or Bad.

Welcome to the madhouse!

Whyhellodaffodil · 28/08/2018 21:59

Thanks wooya ! Bin I’m definitely more of a words person but trying hard to move past the ‘I can’t do maths’ block that I’ve had in my head since I left school, working my way through some of the learn maths resources before the module starts which is helping a bit Smile

Ooh tommy you’re so close - level 3!

NatureGal · 31/08/2018 21:36

October start, DD103. Working towards International Studies degree. My second Level one module and I can't wait, missed studying. My books came today, yay!

BareBelliedSneetch · 31/08/2018 21:40

@Whyhellodaffodil I finished Env Sci this time last year! Good luck Grin

isthistoonosy · 01/09/2018 07:03

I'm doing my second level 1 science module.

InterstellarSleepingElla · 01/09/2018 07:30

I'm doing my second year of Natural Sciences (physics). Doing 2 30 credit modules - Essential maths 1 (MST124) and Physics and Space (SM123).

Really looking forward to getting back to it as I had to take last year out.

AllStar14 · 01/09/2018 07:35

I start in October too. English language and literature 😁

oldgimmer78 · 01/09/2018 17:20

I just finished my second OU degree and am now starting postgrad (but not with OU) I really enjoyed both of them and it is especially great for those who are working or have caring responsibilities. I would really recommend you join the FB groups for your module as usually there is someone on there who shares all of their notes and makes great revision slides. I personally found this much more helpful than the forum groups or tutorials.
