  • Gemmzie - I studied it at full time rate so 3 years .... 2003/2004 - 2006/2007 academic years

    notanothergreyhair ..... cheers!

    Everyone .....

    Thanks for all your kind words and congratulations. It really means a lot. After missing out on Uni at 18 because of the unaffordable financial cost to my parents I never thought I would see this day. Here I am aged 27, married and 3 children, and I have finally done it. It feels absolutely fantastic. It still doesn't feel real yet, but I guess it will when I actually attend my ceremony in April and I get to wear the robes. To get a 2:1 was my goal, so to get a First is just amazing.

    To anyone thinking about studying I cannot recommend the Open University highly enough.

  • Well done you!!

    A stunning 1st - I can only admore all the hard work you put in!

    I got my Desmond this year and that was so hard.....

    We had our graduation in sheffield in November - gown, scarf and hat hire was arund the £40 i think.

    Now it is onwards and upwards to the next degree!

    I now that sounds terrible but that is sense amongst the madness. I started an OU degree and completed 4 years - then moved to a full time OT course (the one I have just passed). Now have been informed that I can transfer some points to the OU degree - only need 120 but still a level 3 short for the honours bit. So not sure if I cna opt for a degree with honours and finish now or will have to do a level 3 Sociology course.

    Well done again - I know how hard it is ~(single mum with 2 stroppy teenagers here)
