hi
I have a B.F.A degree in applied art and i was teaching art in a recognised school in India for last two and a half years and now i am in London.I would like to persue teaching art here.What qualification or certification do i need??

Answer by voluntary user(s)

To become a teacher, you will need a full degree which has a large chunk of the subject you want to teach. You then would need to get a PGCE (teaching qualification) to become a teacher. The OU doesn't offer an Art PGCE, but maybe able to help you get the first degree. If your degree is recognised as a full degree in the OU, i'd contact the TDA to discuss the options.

Subject: MA in correspondence- Posted May 5, 2008 2:18 am

Hi!!
im from india and would like to do my MA from the UK University.
is it like i can do my Correspondence in MA from this university.
If so what is the criteria and what are the entrance exams. im right now finishing my BCA.

Thank you,

Answer by voluntary user(s)

Open univeristy is a correspondence only university. Most of the courses are only open to students resident in particular countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Channel Islands, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Isle of Man, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Ireland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland.
But there are some ocurses that students from any country can study.
Also bear in mind that if you are not eligible to pay UK resident fees, your course fee will be substantially higher and quite expensive.
In terms of qualification, you dont have to have previous qulaifications to start a course. The university tries to increase access to all adults.
Which subject do you want to do your MA in? From what I know, OU does not offer degree or post-grad degress to Indian Residents. Why don't you check teh The Times University Guide for good uni's to apply to for attendance in person?

Im currently a student in the Open University of Kuwait and moving to the states is there a way i can transfer my credits and study long distance?

Answer by voluntary user(s)

The full range of courses is not available to US residents. The full range of OU courses is only for EU residents. OU does recognise transfers of credits in certain circumstances, but you may find that the course you want to do is not available to you through OU. You can transfer credits to OU from other higher education institutions - check the OU Credit Transfer Website for the details.
