Re: New open university student 2012Unfortunately with the OU it will always be counted as part-time study regardless of how much you're studying. Therefore there isn't really much in the way of maintenance loans or grants that you could get (although if you don't have a previous degree and meet the other criteria you should be able to get loans to cover your fee costs). Most people are either supported by their family or work part-time/full-time during their OU study.
