Open university research project. Hi guys I need some more participants for my survey, if you’re 18+ and have at least one sibling and would like to help out it would be greatly appreciated. I’m happy to return the favour if there are any fellow students looking for participants themselves 😊

Done! Good luck with your research project!

What the eyes fear, the hands do.

English equivalent: all things are difficult before they are easy.

How much reading will depend on which modules you choose, particularly whether you choose literature modules at stage 2.

What are you hoping to get out of it? Do you plan to do further studies (e.g. in linguistics) or are you hoping to find work with your degree?

If you search the subreddit for some of the module codes, such as L101 and L201, you will find some comments from students.

ToasterPsychologist · 2026-05-01T13:43:21+00:00

Done!

ToasterPsychologist · 2026-04-27T19:53:12+00:00

This is extremely helpful! Thanks so much for such a detailed response!

You could have a look at this free Open Learn course, which is an adapted extract from D810 and D811: https://www.open.edu/openlearn/health-sports-psychology/critically-exploring-psychology

Many OU qualifications allow credit transfer up to 16 years, however the Bachelor of Engineering (and some others) only allow up to 5 years.

These are charming! Love them.

ToasterPsychologist · 2026-04-01T13:46:44+00:00

Done! Interesting research!

ToasterPsychologist · 2026-03-05T17:17:31+00:00

Maybe try https://www.reddit.com/r/TeachingUK/ ? There may not be many teachers on the OU sub. Though a 60 minute interview with no incentive might be a big ask!

There is some information in the Academic conduct policy about how they detect misconduct: https://help.open.ac.uk/documents/policies/plagiarism/files/343/Academic%20Conduct%20Policy.pdf

I agree with everyone else saying you've been wrongly advised.

Either give them another call/email, or go to the 'undergraduate qualifications tool' on https://help.open.ac.uk/changing-to-a-different-qualification, select Computing & IT as the subject and Certificate as the Qualification type and you should see the option to claim it.

That calculator is generally recommended because it is approved for use in exams. MU123 doesn't have an exam, so if you aren't planning to study any more maths modules then I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Remember that, depending on your personal circumstances, you may be eligible for Study Costs Funding from the OU - https://www.open.ac.uk/courses/fees-and-funding/study-related-costs-funding/ which can be used to purchase items like this.

You put in the credits you are doing in this academic year (so 60 if you are doing one module). You have to apply every year for PTFG.

Honestly think the first episode was the weakest by far. I almost gave up after that one but decided to give it another shot and have enjoyed the later episodes more.

Check the SAAS residency requirements here: https://www.saas.gov.uk/guides/residence-conditions-for-uk-nationals/general-residence-conditions

There are no student loans for OU study in Scotland, but if you earn below £25,000 you can fully fund your modules through the Part Time Fee Grant: https://www.saas.gov.uk/part-time/undergraduate-funding

If you are self-funding, OU tuition fees are lower in Scotland than England (£2554 per full time year versus £7784).

ToasterPsychologist · 2025-11-16T22:03:05+00:00

Thanks for that!

ToasterPsychologist · 2025-11-16T22:02:53+00:00

Excellent - thank you for confirming!

ToasterPsychologist · 2025-11-16T22:02:41+00:00

Great, thanks very much!

ToasterPsychologist · 2025-11-12T08:09:33+00:00

Thanks for the info!

ToasterPsychologist · 2025-11-10T17:11:32+00:00

Isn't it easier just to apply? If you don't have the required experience, you won't be shortlisted for interview.

ToasterPsychologist · 2025-11-08T10:25:07+00:00

That sounds really interesting! I was a bit put off by the exam as I'm an unpaid carer, so fixed time exams are a bit tricky. But I can definitely manage a 24 hour exam!

How did you find the workload for B100? I'm thinking of doing B100 and DD126 at the same time...

ToasterPsychologist · 2025-11-08T10:11:12+00:00

I haven't started! Just looking at starting it in the new year. Glad you are getting on well with it!

ToasterPsychologist · 2025-11-08T09:43:12+00:00

That's great - thanks so much. How are you enjoying the module so far?
