The Open University. ‘The Open University (OU) is the United Kingdom’s only university dedicated to distance learning. For most courses there are no previous qualifications required to study, you have to be aged 18 when your course starts but there is no upper age limit. The Open University’s style of teaching is called ‘supported open learning’, also known as ‘distance learning’. Open learning means that you will be learning in your own time by reading course material, working on course activities, writing assignments and perhaps working with other students. Supported means support from a tutor and the student services staff at Regional Centres, as well as from centralised areas such as the Library or Open University Students Association.’
