Learning

The principal distinguishing feature of learning with The Open University Business School (UK) is its up-to-date effective method of distance learning.

What does ‘distance learning? mean in fact?
Differently from learning in correspondence or online Internet-based courses (e-learning), learning with the OU Business School provides individual approach, tutor and administrative support, a combination of studying online materials individually and at face-to-face tutorials, participation in residential schools, tutor consultations by telephone and e-mail, online conferencing with peers and tutors.

The OUBS MBA study will harmonically entwine in your daily schedule and enable you to combine it with your work and family commitments and will not require breaking your business while learning.

If your working day is open-ended or you spend much time on trips, we may offer you a range of possibilities to let you plan your study noting your circumstances. The OU Business School's special distance learning offer includes:

• Permanent tutor support (through face-to-face tutorials, telephone, e-mail, online conferences);
• Unique online printed and multi media study resources;
• Face-to-face tutorials conducted by west European tutors of The Open University;
• Written assignments (TMA) based directly on your current work, marked and commented by your tutor;
• Participation in residential schools arranged in West Europe where you will work in teams of students from different countries;
• Online conferencing;

• Access to online information resources of The OU Business School and The Open University;

• Contacts with other OU students.
