Planning to enhance my professional qualifications and want to get a Master’s in Education as I’m currently working in the education field, and I was wondering if this is one of the best options out there.

Would appreciate any advice, thank you!

They have a good reputation and quality lecturers. Can’t vouch for that particular course, but overall they are a good choice.

The OU has always had strong distance learning teaching, I have a family member who pivoted to a new career thanks largely to getting a degree with the OU. Also completing a degree through a remote program from and provider is a great indicator of your resolve and tenacity and can easily be a great selling point to future jobs etc.

They’ve been doing remote learning stuff for a very long time

I remember seeing some of their stuff come on TV late at night in the UK in the 90s and 00s.

It’s a long time ago when I got my degree there but it was a very good experience, very high quality. That what’s all my former peers say, too.

Yes, it is. They are a fully recognised university supported by the UK government and royal charter. Their distance learning is highly regarded. In fact, many years ago the BBC would screen many Open University TV lectures for various subjects being studied.
