Hi Gemma,
I'm studying the DD101 since last autumn and I'm very satisfied with the course. However please note that this course is not mainly focused only on Criminology and Psychology subjects, but in a wider scope to "Social Science".

I Quote the introductory text for the course you can find at this address http://www3.open.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/course/dd101.htm

"This key introductory Level 1 course is an ideal introduction to the social sciences – psychology, social policy and criminology, geography and environment, politics and international studies, economics and sociology – through study of contemporary UK society." [...]

I hope you find this useful...

Regards, Nicola

Hi Nicola,

I have recently received the course material and I see what you mean about not being as focused on criminology as I would have thought. However saying that I am really looking forward to the start if not slightly scared!

Thanks, Gemma

Hi Gemma, what part of the South West are you from? I live in Gloucester :-)

I don't know if you're aware, but there are 2 groups on Facebook for DD101. I'll enclose the links below so that you can find them easily.  Both are really friendly and the people seem genuinely lovely and helpful :-)
