A student once again

Registration is complete. This autumn I return to Open University study. I am excited at the prospect of returning to structured study after a ten year break and am keen to get started. Course books have already arrived and the website for Why is religion controversial? opens on 13th September.
 

Picking up the threads with the OU has been something of a journey. I expected to study A332 as a standalone module but the online application system had other ideas. An earlier unfinished Open Degree has been resurrected and this module could count towards a qualification...but only if I manage to get enough credits before 31st December 2019.

My student record has been updated to show my current address but my geographical catchment area has not. Not wanting to attend tutorials 200 miles from home I have asked for this to be altered. Just a blip...I hope!
