How do.

Just wondering if anyone has studied an OU course.

I'm seriously contemplating doing some home study, ideally in the area of Iron Age Britain and Archaeology.

Costs wise I can get a bursary through work. Main concern is how realistic a home study degree balanced with a full time job is.

Anyone?

Do it, academia is its own reward!

They say part time courses are scheduled for about 20hours work a week, that is a bit of a conservative estimate, though individual circumstances vary.

Also, do not just look at OU, though there is nothing wrong with them, a lot of institutions do distance learning courses that do not require you to ever have a physical presence at the institute.
