The Open University

The Open University is the UK’s largest and most innovative university. It has pioneered and popularised distance learning throughout the world and is renowned for the excellence of its courses and teaching system. It is ranked amongst the top ten of all UK universities for the quality of its teaching.

All our part-time courses are in English and are studied at home with the support of a tutor. For some courses there are local tutorials in Brussels and for others communication with your tutor and other students is via email and online conference.

Courses are designed so you can fit studying around your other commitments, taking between 8 and 16 hours work per week, depending on the course. You can study a single course or combine courses for certificates, diplomas, BA or BSc honours degrees or Masters degrees.

We can also award Credit transfer points towards OU degrees for university-level study completed elsewhere. You might be studying for your career or simply out of interest – our flexible system allows you to choose the programme most suited to your needs.
