    Is anyone familiar with Open University?

    They seem to have some pretty good programs. This one in particular looked interesting. Near the bottom of the page is a link to info about DL PhD programs.

    I did a search of the board and didn't find anything pertaining to this school or program.

    I'd like to know what others think about this school.

    Thanks

    Actually it has been discussed a lot, especially about a year ago when their US program closed. It is good programme but many actually seem to perfer University of London External Programme.

    There are indeed some very interesting degree programs in this school. Perhaps one of the reasons it does not get more attention is that the school does not admit students from the USA.

    The OU does not operate in Canada either. As far as I know they only operate in Europe. Which is unfortunate, because I would not hesitate to enroll myself.

    hm, in terms of academic and also professional recognition, I would not opt for the British OU (except MAYBE for their MBA program which is pretty high ranked) - all in all it´s rather pricey and not too accepted in Europe (people tend to look down on it a little bit).

    greets,
