An Open University (OU) Access Module is an ideal starting point if you need to develop your study skills and build your confidence. You can also use this as preparation to study any of our undergraduate qualifications.
You don’t need any special knowledge or experience to study these modules, and – as with most OU study – you don’t need any previous qualifications to study with us.
If you answered YES to any of the above, an OU Access Module may be the ideal starting point for you.
You can study one of four OU Access modules:
Arts and languages Access module
Business and law Access module
Psychology, social science and wellbeing Access module
Science, technology and maths Access module
On successful completion you'll be well prepared to continue your studies with us.
The fees and funding available to you are based on where you are ordinarily resident, and you may even be able to study for free. Full details on our fees and funding arrangements can be found on our website.
To find out more and check if this is the right starting point for you email our team of advisers.
