Try seeing if any brick unis have an online option. Some do, these days.

My hubby studied both his BA and MA online with Buckinghamshire New University.
I'm starting an MSc online in September with the University of Edinburgh.

Hi Karen2302,

Sorry to hear that the Open University aren't able to help you and don't offer the Masters degree that you are wanting to take. I agree the Open University is really brilliant - I studied a Masters degree with the Wales branch a couple of years ago and found that all the tutors were brilliant and the course materials were fabulous.
In response to your question, have you asked the OU if it is definitely not offering the Masters this year? They may be able to advise you of any similar courses that are on offer if you explain that you really want to remain studying with them and have already enjoyed a previous degree? If you find that the answer they give is a firm no, then all isn't lost! Loads of the brick universities are offering on line options to many of their masters degrees. You don't say what you are wanting to study, but the choice of online study is really quite broad now, so it is well worth having a good look at the 'traditional' universities. You can do a search using various websites, such as Find A Masters - https://www.findamasters.com/masters-degrees/united-kingdom/ or Prospects, https://www.prospects.ac.uk/postgraduate-courses. You may be able to find others that offer this kind of facility, too.
It may help you with your search, and hopefully you will be able to find a Masters in the course that you want to study.
I hope this helps, and good luck with the rest of your academic journey - enjoy it!
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask
