The Open University

High Quality Distance Learning Degrees

Set up by the British Government in 1969 the OU ( http://www.open.ac.uk/)
Offers top quality, flexible, distance learning degree programmes.
Some programmes are available worldwide, some just in Europe – most courses require a short time each year at a summer school or other seminar session.

The qualifications are highly respected and probably harder than going to a full time university campus course – most of the OU students are also trying to hold down a job / raise a family etc.

Not cheap, but most OU degrees are judged as very good value.
