Open University results
30 Answers
I think I will do a "molly" and tell everyone I got my open university results this morning and passed both subjects - Psychology and Law. The result they give you is Achieved, Just achieved and didn't achieve. I'm happy to say I 'achieved' both. I hasten to add in case you think I am brain of britain, it was only short introductory courses and although I was urged by the tutors to go on with further studies I decided not to as I would be nearing 90 before I finished and what the hell would I do with a degree at that age? If I could sustain it that long. It would cost quite a bit too.

Nothing, lumi I am too old. I just did them for interest and to give me something to do to dispel the hours of loneliness. I have done four up to now and passed all of them, so I suppose I have also proved to myself that I can do it if I want to. My father always said you should think to yourself 'I can and I will'. I think he may have been right. Thanks for your post. I thought perhaps no-one would notice.

Well done. I did my BSc with the OU and got myself a Diploma in Music along the way. I'm now half way through a Certificate in Business Studies. It was a couple of the early courses I did that got me into full-time university to study history as well.
If anyone had told me (or my teachers) that I would end up with two Bachelor's degrees and some not inconsiderable musical skill by the time I hit my fifties, we'd never have believed them, so much had everyone given up on me, so I know exactly where you're coming from in terms of your outlook.
Why not pick one of the subjects you've enjoyed the most and build it into a Certificate? You only need 60 points and you can fill most of those through 30-point and short courses at level 1. I'm debating myself whether to go for French or Maths next.

I think it's brilliant Star, very well done, just proof that you are indeed never too old to do anything. My mother in law that was is in her final year of her archaeology degree and she's 72 so it seems that I'm surrounded by lots of inspirational people proving that life begins once you retire. I'm really impressed:) xx
