1.
The
Open University is the most recently established university in Great Britain.
It was set up in 1969 for those people who missed the chance of going to an
ordinary university. The university differs from other universities in that its
students work in full-time jobs and can study only in their free time by means
of distance teaching materials, through correspondence and broadcasting. Students
study about ten hours a week and they do a lot of watching and listening to the
weekly lectures through different communication systems.
2.
As
the university is really ‘open’ neither formal entrance examinations, nor
qualifications are required at undergraduate level. Students are admitted on a
‘first came, first served’ basis. Each student gets the help of his own tutor
who he meets regularly.
3.
The
university has some faculties and three programmes of study- undergraduate,
associate and postgraduate. The Bachelor of Art degree is built up on a credit
system. Students’ final mark is based on the exams in October and on the
written assignments during the year. It takes six or eight years of study at
the usual speed of a course.
