Is Open University pricing out older learners?
The unit will always be cheaper than many other universities, but older students or casual market price
The Open University for a long period may have shaken the image of Kipper-par with physics teachers in the presentation of primers BBC2 late at night, but retained a reputation for welcoming the public place for later life education of -. if a career change, or correction of the failure of the education of youth lost
But that reputation may be required to change after the announcement of the organizational unit of the structure of the new rates for students in England from September 2012. The price of a full-time degree (120 credits) from about £ 1400 to an average of £ 5,000 a year, with a degree part-time (60 credits) to $ 2500 pounds, where he was before was around 700 pounds. Rates for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are still under discussion.
The£ 5000 can be a bargain compared with the new rates of several other universities, but is it too far for those who want to learn for fun or gently dip a toe back in the education? Students admitted Kash fans Farooq, a software developer, began a degree in natural sciences, who began his apprenticeship in a relaxed way with a course on fossils and natural history. Farooq and had a degree in mathematics, but wanted to extend their reading and simple to learn. "A few years ago, someone at work I was doing an open university degree," he said. "I tried and got the module plugged in, which was in 2007 I made a module of astronomy and since I'm concentrating in astronomy .."
Farooq, along with other UO students English, pay at the current rate, provided that their study was not broken and he completed his qualification for 2017. But he believes that university students take advantage of low rates, thus reducing student debt, constitute a significant proportion of consumption in the near future.
"I would not have started if these prices are active for five years," he said. "If another university distance education appeared in the price of the distance, I want to see it . "
- "We have about 6000 full-time students with us, but we remain true to our goal to remain open to as many people as possible," says Bean. "The vast majority of students in the Open University to continue to be part-time, with an average age than it is now. "
These options include online resources OU OpenLearn and iTunes U, which offer free stuff, of course, despite the assertion misses the mark or the availability of credit as part of a qualification . The casual student, initially put off by the cost, but enough enthusiasm for further study, will start from scratch when applying for a university course.
full-time caregiver Barbara Yates began his studies of UO in 2008, when they change jobs to take care of his mother. Upon returning from a trip to Indochina, I want to learn more about the socio-economic problems facing the region.
