I always fancied doing an academic degree, but couldn't see how I'd fit a course around my job. The great thing about the Open University (OU) is that it's so flexible. It's about 15 hours' study a week. When I'm away on location, I just take the work with me, sit in my caravan or hotel room and get on with it. This year, I'll be writing a piece of coursework in Bangkok and sitting my final exam in LA. Show less «
