Section 1 Activity 1

Sorry couldn't see how to post a new discussion in this section!

What I have read so far is very interesting. I was surprised how many students didn't have an A- or A-Levels, as these are required to enter University. I think one of the good points about the Open University is that it is open to anyone who has missed out or wants to study for a degree.
