I did my BSc in Mathematics with the OU. Overall it was a very good experience. Rather than teaching by lectures, the OU provides you with high quality and substantial written materials. As with any other university you are expected to keep up with the course schedule, and will be required to submit assessments and sit exams at certain times.

The reliance on written materials with much less face-to-face teaching (compared with a traditional university) was to me a distinct advantage as it gave me more control over the pace of the course.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you feel going to OU impacted your professional career compared to going to a more traditional university?
