I'm starting economics in October, all things going well. 3 years out of education, hope I'm not too rusty.

I've just registered for the Business Management (Accounting) course. I'm 7/8 years out of formal education but I'm actually really excited to start.
I will be starting in Feb and I'm really looking forward to getting my books through.
Is there anything that is blowing your mind specifically? Or is it all of it?

Still waiting 1 month later for a degree change. Apparently if you reply to any emails you get put to the back of the queue!

I am a month away from finishing my first year and so far, I'm absolutely loving it! I have been 7 years out of education but it's going good. Really excited for my 2nd year in October 22, but must admit I have looked at my two last years (4 year long degree) and I'm rather nervous of the road ahead xD

Starting DD102 (Intro to Social Sciences) in October, working towards an Open Degree after dropping out of a brick uni 21 years ago due to mental health issues. Nervous but excited.

Good luck I am sure you will do well! I dropped out of Uni around 14 years ago, due to mental health and hating the course I was doing. I tried Open Uni about 12 years ago, but it wasn't the right time for me. I restarted last October, and after applying for DSA it was the best decision I made. If you think your mental health could still affect you I would highly recommend applying for DSA before starting in October. I applied in August last year and finally got an award in December. I was allowed a specialist mentor which has helped massively! All the best for October.

Hello 👋
I'm starting business and management (marketing) and just started reading the B100 handbook...panicking already 🤯.

I did B100 couple of years ago, felt the same way at first, really enjoyed it though, sure you do great

I notice many of the other university forums have one, so I thought why shouldn't

Hi,

Would anyone have any course materials for B100 or DB125 that they would be willing to share?

Any advice, information or tips for starting would be much appreciated!

I’m starting in October and am trying to give myself a great head start.

Also, what was your thoughts on the course?

Thanks!

How credible/respected is a degree achieved through the OU compared to a degree achieved at a brick uni? Specifically looking at the Computing & IT pathway. I have noticed that the OU offers less programming modules than at a brick uni but would be nice to hear from someone who took the Computing & IT pathway or similar, would this be seen as a downside?

Also do you get the opportunity to develop soft skills like teamwork through group work or is that not a thing at OU?
