Are you sure that they will let you in with an open university degree anyway? With the utmost respect the competition is going to be extremely strong and someone who has cut and shut a degree together by working out the easiest way won't be exactly appealing.

Judging by the retards walking out of universities throughout the land with good degree marks, yet incapable of basic levels of literacy, one can only assume that it has now been devalued to the point where it has come from no longer means very much.

Anihilator, I am far from being your greatest fan. But this piece of idiocy really takes the biscuit. You are totally lacking in respect, presumably out of ignorance. I have done more than one degree with universities which have premises. Mrs Shadow is currently doing a degree with the OU. I know the difference between the routes and there is nothing easy about an OU degree.

How dare you suggest that an OU degree is an easy way out!

A Foundation Degree isn't the same thing as a degree without Honours.

You certainly can't go into teaching with only a Foundation Degree!

Apologies, you are absolutely right about my terminolgy: I was looking at this and transfered the Title: http://www3.open.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/qualification/bd.htm

It does appear that 3 x 10 short courses can indeed form part of a Degree without Honors. It seems only difference between with/without is 60 points at level 3.
