I was wondering how many of you are studying with the OU? My first module started yesterday and so far I'm really impressed with how well organised it all is. I'm also finding myself much more motivated and interested than I was first time around.

I'm studying module U116, Journeys through a Changing World, and am hoping to achieve a qualification in Environmental Science.

Have just registered with the OU to do a BSc in psychology with counselling. PTFG approved within a week of applying. Didn't expect it to be approved so fast!

I'm restarting my last year of that course in October after deferring at the beginning of this year. My modules were

DD102
DE100
D240 and SDK 228 (replaced by D241)
DE200
DD310

and DE300 this year.

Well done for getting through all those modules. How have you found it so far? You will be so relieved to get finished the degree. Keep going!

I haven't read through all future modules yet but there's such a varied amount to learn.

Good luck with the last hurdle 🙌

I’ve nearly finished my first module, SM111: aiming to complete BSc Natural Science - Astronomy and Planetary Science in three years. Working, studying and mum to young DD. It’s a ferocious slog and rarely get to bed before midnight but I’m hanging onto the thought of having a better career in four years time. The maths seemed horrendous at first but it’s taught so well and the resources are brilliant I’m actually enjoying it and remembering it, too, which is a novelty. Khan Academy is a godsend. Good luck to everyone!
