Thread: Open university

I'm from Poland so
I'm thinking about studying at the open university
Distance Learning Courses and Adult Education - The Open University

Is it an accredited instution?
Is it held in high regard by employees?

I'm aiming to study psychology at an undergraduate level there, is this a good place to learn psychology ? Would I have all the privelages that a "normal" bachellor degree in psychology gives me?

	Psychology Degrees Psychology Degrees Psychologists study mental processes and human behavior by observing, interpreting, and recording how people and animals relate to one another and the environment. To do this, psychologists often look for patterns that will help them understand and predict behavior using scientific methods, principles, or procedures to test their ideas. Through such research studies, psychologists have learned much that can help increase understanding between individuals, groups, organizations, institutions, nations, and cultures. •Job opportunities are naturally best for individuals with higher degrees. Individuals with a doctoral degree are highly sought after, especially ones who holds degrees in a particularly in-demand subfield, such as health; those with a master’s degree will have good prospects in the corporate environment; bachelor’s degree holders will have limited prospects due to steep competition. •Employment growth will vary by specialty; for example, clinical, counseling, and school psychologists will have 11% growth; industrial-organizational psychologists will have 26% growth; and 14% growth is expected for all other fields of psychology.
