Very good, tutors have been very helpful and the material is good enough. It is very Space focused in my opinion, but that is due to the OU being very focused on Space as a research area. Space is also pretty ideal for remote research to be fair as well.

Open University open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
