Qualifications for an open degree

I have been looking at the courses for the open university and i cannot find any entry requirements for specific courses. What are the minimum requirements for a degree there?

Hard work, dedication and a desire for learning.

Oh, and level two courses generally require that you've started at level one first, unless you've had experience in that field already. But yeah, no general entry requirements, that's why it's called the Open University - learning for all :smile:

Thanks for replying. This makes me think these degrees should be more advertised.

Unfortunately they probably won't be respected the same as a usual degree.

OU degrees are ussualy more respected! For one the grade boundries are much higher. Also not many people can keep their head down and voluntary do work towards their degree. Those in brick unis have a set timetable so its much easier for them to stay focused

I wouldn't say more respected but certainly as respected.

It's a different way of working that arrives at the same destination...
