What are the advantages of studying a free course on OpenLearn?

Courses are either adapted extracts from Open University courses - the same as the ones studied by our students - or complete open courses exclusive to OpenLearn.
If you're interested in taking an Open University course, but not sure it's for you, you can get a feel for what's on offer before signing up.
Most free courses are available now, whenever now is - you can start right away, or whenever suits you.
You can work through at your own pace - if you want to do a burst of ten hours in one sitting - be our guest. Want to spread studying over a longer period? That's your choice. Just use the 'enrol' button, and we'll remember how far you've got through for you.
