open university

im in year 12 right now and would like to study criminology at the open university. is it worth it? although there are no entry requirements, are there recommended a level grades you need to do the degree? im currently doing english literature, sociology and psychology. also are there any statistics involved in criminology or not? i know thats why i stopped considering doing psychology because theres statistics involved.

The Open University has no entry requirements. It's open to anyone.

Now that's not to say their courses are easy - the OU has a high drop out rate because people start and think it's going to be a piece of cake. It's not - it's just as much work as any other university. So don't go into it thinking it's an easy option.

But no, there's no A Level recommendations for entry.

For criminology I don't know if their course involves statistics. You could look at the course details on the website.

As for whether or not the OU is worth it - yes, absolutely!
