Open Uni Q&A: answering all of your questions

Hey hey! Today's vid is the long awaiting open university Q&A! You guys have asked me so many good questions which I'll be covering in this video!
QUESTIONS ASKED:
1. I haven't studied since college days - would that suffice to go straight into University? Fyi, I'm not an exam typa person
2. Would you say its a supportive system despite being independent learning?
3. How do you receive assignments and how do I start doing them? Because I thought the planner was the actual work ugh
4.Does the degree you get is exactly the same as the one you would get from a campus one? Does it say anywhere it was taken online or something?
5.When I apply for the student finance do I apply for both modules or just the first one. Thanks xx
6. Can you do it without doing the access module? i don’t have the best grades from years ago :/
7. Are the courses recognised by other universities?
8. Do you often meet lots of people whilst studying at the Open University, or is it a very lonely course?
9. How long before the course beginning was the study planner made open to you?
10. Did you receive any other post besides the parcel with the textbooks and assessment booklet?
11. If I start studying full time do they offer maintenance loans like normal unis do?
12. Does the university organise a graduation ceremony after the completion of the courses?
If your question wasn't answered, feel free to comment and i'll create a follow up video!

Just to let everyone know who wants to join the open university the percentages to pass are higher than actual brick university for example: 50-59% is a 2:2 honours degree whereas open university to get a 2:2 honours degree it is 55-70%

[@MontelleBee]

Thank you for sharing!

[@numanhussain6080]

Yes, but they are marked the same, in that a 2.2 in a brick and mortar uni would require the same amount of work as a 2.2 at the Open University

[@PhoebeJones]

Loved watching this! Hope uni is treating you well 💓

[@MontelleBee]

Thank you for watching 😊

[@100meganrocks]

It is the case that it’s the same as a brick uni I was in Bangor university and then switched to open university that’s how I know thanks Megan 👍😊

[@mollyidean]

How far in advance did you register for the course? Would it be too late to register in July for the October course? Just because I'm worried there may not be enough places or something! 😬

[@MontelleBee]

Nope that’s not too late at all. I applied around July in my first year :)

[@mollyidean]

@@MontelleBee ah thanks so much!

[@Dubia124]

Is the in person tutorials guaranteed for every course and are tutorials basically like a lecture ?

[@NewAndDandy-w3d]

for me different tutors did the tutorials, you don't have to only attend the tutorials with your tutor. you can attend any of them. I'm not sure how a lecture is like, but I would say probably yes. you have to sign up for the tutorials. I think you maybe can attend them in person, but I attend all of them online (but I do live outside the uk). some tutorials are also recorded so you can watch them if you miss them

[@itsmejoyb]

Thank you so much for this! 😊 I'm from South Africa wanting to start at OU in October but the currency exchange makes the course extremely expensive . Is there any scholarships or bursaries OU has?

[@MontelleBee]

Hey love! They do offer bursaries but I’m not sure for overseas. I’d advise checking their website for more info

[@itsmejoyb]

@@MontelleBee thanks loads 😘

[@evangaline2278]

Hey, this video is so helpful:) was just wondering when you said the degree isn’t recognised by other universities does this mean that once your degree is finished you can’t get a masters from a different university? 💕

[@MontelleBee]

Hey love. Yes it does mean that (as far as I’m aware) x

[@teeniemcnee]

OU degrees are accepby all unis and you can get a masters. My friend ddi an OU degree, then a masters at a brick uni, and is just submitting her PhD this month. It is exactly the same as any degree from any other UK university... and a lot more highly regarded than many

[@MontelleBee]

@@teeniemcnee thank you for the info!!

[@liam06farrell35]

many people get their degree from open university then do a masters at a brick university, maybe even a russel group. it is the same degree that you would get at a brick uni and is respected and treated the same (read this all online)

[@Jimmylad.]

I wonder if one could do a open university degree to get w bachelor degree but then go to a in person university to do a master degree

[@yara9885]

U definitely can

[@Jimmylad.]

@@yara9885 wow really even a red brick uni?

[@yara9885]

@@Jimmylad. whats that? Sorry not from the uk🫶🏻

[@Jimmylad.]

@@yara9885 red brick means the top universities

[@yara9885]

@@Jimmylad. I believe yes bcuz its an accredited uni just like any other uni

[@Andromedaxterr]

Hello miss. great content. One question. Are you going for the masters in psychology ? and after that phd maybe ???

[@MontelleBee]

Yes my plan is to complete my PHD ❤️

[@WandaResende]

Hey beautiful Queen

[@MontelleBee]

Hey love 💗

[@meln.4927]

45 years out of education? But how old is she 😳😳

[@MontelleBee]

😂😂😂 4-5 years*

[@roxsandbebbs2715]

Question? Accept GED?

[@teeniemcnee]

You don't need any qualifications

[@NewAndDandy-w3d]

I got into it, and I only passed 10th (9th) grade
