The Open University was established

The Open University was established in Britain in 1969 to enab le people
to study for a best degree at home. It was set up for those people who missed
the chance of going to an ordinary university. The University differs from
other universities in that its students work in full-time jobs and can study only
in their free time by means of distance teaching materials, correspondence and
broadcasting.
The Open University started its first course in 1971 with 19,500
students. Now it is Britain’s largest teaching institution, with more than
100,000 men and women taking its various courses at any given time. About 15
6,000 students of all ages get degrees every year. Its degrees, diplomas and
other qualifications are equal to those of any other university.
Apart from the well-known degree courses there are a lot of other
courses, some lasting only a few weeks, others ten or twelve months. Courses
cover a wide range of subjects – from everyday topics through traditional
university disciplines – history, chemistry, electronics and so on – to the latest
manufacturing techniques.
The University is open to any person over 18 living in Britain or another
member nation of the European Union, regardless of previous education. And
of course, you must have the desire to learn.
The OU operates by sending its educational materials to stu dents, in
their own homes or places of work. Instruction often makes use of such course
materials as special equipment to conduct science and technology experiments
at home, audio and videocassettes, and computer software. Students of the OU
receive their lessons and lectures in their homes by means of special TV and
radio programmes. Some courses are taught via the Internet, while others make
use of the Internet as one component of instruction. Some courses include a
one-week instruction in residential schools, usually offered during the summer.
The University offers programmes in the arts, mathematics and
computing, science and technology, social science, education, health and social
welfare, business and humanities.
Students may be of all ages and come from all walks of life. Some of
them want to improve their qualification, others come to the university to do
something they have always wanted but had no time or good chance to do it
before.
The B.A. degree is built up on the credit system. Student’s final mark is
based on the exam in October and the written assignments done during the
year. If you pass and most people do, you have got one credit towards the six
that you need for the B.A. degree. At the usual speed of a course a year it will
take you six(or eight) years to get your degree.
