If you did well at school and got your GCSE’s but didn’t go on to college or university then you may wonder if it is possible for you to do this at a later time. As we get older we often have more commitments such as rent or mortgage, running a car and possibly children. This will mean that we have to rely on our income even more so that we may have done when we were younger. For many people, this stops them going back into education as they feel they cannot afford to not be working full time. This may be the case, but there are options which you may want to consider which will allow you to do both.
Often if you have good GCSE’s you can get straight on to a degree level course without having to do A levels or obtain an NVQ first. You may wish to do an access course for a year which gets you back into learning and can help to teach you about writing assessments etc.
The Open University allows you to complete your learning from home and can be done full time or part time allowing you to still work. If you have a job that is flexible you may not have to cut down your working hours too much as long as you can commit your spare time to your degree.
