3.1 Open YXM modules
Did you know we also offer Open modules which you can count towards your Open qualification? These modules are unique and allow students to personalise their study. Currently there are two Open modules:
- Undergraduate module: Making your learning count (YXM130)
- Postgraduate module: Advance your independent learning (YXM830)
YXM130 is an OU Level 1 module that allows you to count different forms of study, like OpenLearn courses (including this one), professional qualifications, Coursera and other Open Educational Resources (OERs) towards a formal OU qualification, including the Open degree. You can find out a little more about YXM130 by visiting here and by watching the short animation below.
The range of options for building your YXM130 study is endless. To help with the choices, the module team have created some example study pathways to see how you can create your own module.
YXM830 is a postgraduate module which is personalised and offers the flexibility of exploring in depth a topic of your choice at Masters level. You can include YXM830 as part of a MA/MSc Open. This module also allows you to draw on different types of learning as a way of advancing your research skills. There’s more on the module here and in this video:
