Could I ask for some advice re OU and degree

[Tooodlepip]

Hi

I noticed that quite a lot of people on here are doing the OU and I just wanted some advice really regarding my degree only if you don't mind

Basically my degree has been 8 years in the making it was originally suppose to take me 3 years but due to a lot of family/health issues I have had a lot of set backs.

now I am sitting the final exam of my Bsc Open degree, I never wanted to do an open degree I wanted a named degree it started of as Life science, however again I was a full time carer and couldn't go to the residential schools so I had to change . Over the years I have scrapped passes for my courses and if I add on my honours the likely outcome will be a third, thats only by my guess, I don't know what I'd need to scrap a 2.2 but I'll assume it might be a 3rd which I am really sad about because I am capable of so much more

Anyway I wanted advice on whether I should accept the open degree without honours and maybe look at the possibility of doing another seperate degree I would love a psychology degree that is actually what I know I'd want took me all these years to figure that out or should I do my honours maybe take an extra module to try and get the 2.2 next year and look to the possibility of doing a psychology related masters I dont know if this is possible??

Please I would appreciate some advice, I mean I'm worried what can I do with an open degree, and a 3rd at that??

Thank you so much for any advice or comments

Phone them. They are really helpful. They will give you a predicted grade, tell you what you can accept and suggest things you might like to add on.

Can you not count some of your modules and do some new ones instead? You might be able to convert it into a named degree? Might be cheaper than the £15k it would cost to start a new degree from scratch?

Thanks I'll contact them when I get my results this year. Can I ask is a 3rd useless as it stands I only need 30 credits to add on the hon should I take 60 to try and bring up my grades ???

Also is an open degree useful ?? For employment or to do a pgce or masters I have a named cert and a named diploma.
