Oh, while I think about it… I’ve been considering and therefore investigating a #degree in #EnglishLanguage through the #OpenUniversity. Not because I need a degree - I’ve been around for more than half a century now so I know I don’t need one - but because I love words and language and learning.

Does anybody reading this have any experience with #PartTimeStudy / this particular degree / the #OU in general?

Anything I need to know / consider?
Grateful for any feedback and boosts for reach.

You #First #StartedWorking...?

I was 14-years old; between the ages of 14 and 22, I was in #FullTimeEducation and also #HeldDown #AtLeast #One x #PartTimeJob, and #AsMany as #Three x #PartTimeJobs #Simultaneously

From the age of 23-onwards until #2019 #FullTimeWork was #Combined with #PartTimeStudy and #OnGoingProfessionalDevelopment...

https://wonkhe.com/blogs/part-time-higher-education-needs-ambition/ Interesting views from our VC and that of Birbeck. It's certainly true the biggest shocks to part time study have come as unintended consequences. It does need specific policy approaches instead #HigherEdPolicy #parttimestudy

Tim Blackman, Vice Chancellor of The Open University and David Latchman, Vice Chancellor of Birkbeck University of London, call for a fresh start for part-time higher education.
