Advantages: Greta course, great city, student discounts Disadvantages: It seems to always rain in sheffield
I’m in my 2nd year of BA(Hons) BusinessStudies (affectionately known as BABS) at Sheffield Hallam uni, and I’m loving it here, Sheffield is a great city. Here’s a little low down on my course for those of you considering coming here, or just nosying at other courses.
In the first year you need to get over 35% in the course work and exam, with an overall score of over 40% to pass the unit. Retakes are in August. The second year of this course is worth 25% of the degree. The third year is spent on placement in the paid job of your choice (obviously one relating to what you want to do as a career). I’m busy applying for a position in the jewellery trade, preferably at somewhere like goldsmiths to gain experience at the different task involved in retail management of one of my biggest passions jewellery ...

Advantages: Study when you can, no lectures to attend. Disadvantages: The price of some of the courses.
also offers additional format materials and other resources for those who need it. They can also advise on financial help that is available for all students. Although there are only 13 regional centres in the UK, and this can mean a long commute to reach a centre to talk to somebody face to face, the staff are accommodating and can discuss it by phone, or even visit you at home in special circumstances.
In general, my personal opinion is that the Open University is a good option for most people, it gives a number of options for people to studybusiness, as you can mix and match courses to suit yourself. I have found it useful and very practical, although some of the individual modules can be a touch pricey, depending on the route you wish to take. However, there are monthly payment options, and it still works out cheaper than an attending ...
Advantages: Flexibility of hours and course choices Disadvantages: Very theoretical
I am currently studying for a BA Hons in BusinessStudies with the OU, over 6 years.
As you can read all the general opinions of OU study I will be specific to businessstudies.
There are three compulsory modules, and three electives, giving you a range of final degrees such as businessstudies with law, economics etc. You can choose which order you take the modules, if you want a "year out", and change your mind as you go along.
The modules are quite theoretical, with LOTS of reading, and many references to academic authors which can make your head spin, and don't seem to apply to the real business world at all.
However - I have an EXCELLENT tutor, we have regular study groups and an online chat facility, I have made some good friends and I am thorougly enjoying the course.
I would advise anyone signing up for this course ...
