| Hi, I'm doing a paper on OU and I have a couple of questions if someone can answer. I want to know how many people does the OU employ (I need to know how many people OU gives employment to) and also, what grant is given by the government to Open University and how much money the university makes from its courses. I also need stats on OU website. I know this is hard to find - if someone can point me to someone (a professor maybe) who can help me, would be great. Thanks |

| I was wondering if there is Phd degree through distance learning, currently placed in Athens/Greece, in the area of business administration. Please advise cost as well.
Thanks |
| Answer by voluntary user(s)a Phd will depend on your circumstances. I believe they are only available to students who can be resident in Milton Keynes in England. Visit www.open.ac.uk and choose the research option at the top right of the page for more information. |

| I am currently living in Pakistan and hold a British passport. Can I pursue a diploma in teaching online??? What is the procedure and will I get any financial help because of y citizenship? |
| Answer by voluntary user(s)Being resident in India may limit the courses available to you. If you are in India under a BFPO address or working in an Embassy, you would be entitled to study probably any course. If you are resident there due to your own choice then there is a limit on what you can study as Pakistan is outside the OU's agreed study areas. You would only be eligible for financial support if you are contributing to the UK economy (i.e. working for a British company and paying UK income tax). If your not, there is an increased fee for the courses. |

All the courses are listed and by going into the individual courses, the price is listed. Not all courses are available from Kuwait. At the bottom of every module page is the list of the countries where that course is available to study. |

| I called by phone and only got vague details about the length of an English degree course and was told you can only do 60 points in the first year. Can you do more if you don't work full-time? Thanks |
| Answer by voluntary user(s)You can do 120 points a year which is around 32 hours a week study (around the same as a full time student). I believe many OU students who approach 120 points a year don't pass due to the large workload. |

Email us with your ideas and and details of how you would like to contribute. You can voluntarily answer questions, provide
photos/videos, help in programming, design of this web site or write content etc.
The Open University already has a very informative website, but some information can be difficult to find.
We will provide links to relevant pages on the official web site along with details not mentioned elsewhere.
Ideally, this web site should be expanded to student logins, sample papers, study material, syllabuses, course details and a lot more.
We are working to create a system which will enhance interactivity amongst students. In order to generate funds
for growth, this website displays advertisements. These are not intended for individual profit.

Despite all that, many present students or admission seekers are not able to find information because
they need an expert to understand their requirements and reply personally.
OpenUniversityUK.co.uk aims to assist general public and students of Open University
starting December the 13th, 2007.
