About to start a BA(Hons) Business Management degree with the OU in October on a full-time study basis (120 credits per year).
Bit concerned (well very concerned) about the lack of examples on either Linkedin or generally asking on various forums about the amount of (or lack of) OU students/graduates that have been accepted on to graduate schemes or internships. I can't find a single example.
For that reason, I'm considering transferring to a bricks and mortar uni after either year 1 or year 2. Is this possible? I still have a nagging feeling that one possible reason for the lack of OU students on graduate schemes is that a lot of well known employers running graduate schemes simply prefer a bricks and mortar uni over the OU. I haven't been proven otherwise to be honest.
In terms of UCAS points I only have around 90 (AS Levels, C,D,E). I also have 11 GCSEs (A-C). I would want to join a degree in year 2 (obviously, having completed the first year with the OU).
What is the process for switching? Is it possible? Any advice?
