I don't like it how you said 'real university'. The OU is a real university! It just doesn't have a campus (unless you are a business student), and therefore isn't traditional.

Is it possible whilst doing a degree at a real uni to do modules from the Open University?

Yes. Nobody is going to know.

I'm glad someone asked this question, as I really wanted to find out if it was possible. I would love to study Infectious Diseases, should I go and apply?

Yes. Since September last year OU students have been able to get NUS membership.

Yep it is actually possible as the American Universtiy in London's degrees are regonised under both the American system and under British OU system.

Only if you are aged 18 or under, on certain benefits or on extremely low income.

Yes on both counts, I think. I've heard of OU students both studying Masters courses at and transferring to traditional unis.
