Are you looking to improve your career prospects?
Are you looking for a change in career or are you hoping to enhance
your current career prospects? As a Unison member we would like to tell
you about an exciting offer from the Open University which is available
for the last time to start in March 2014. Deadline for registrations
is 9 January 2014.
The Open University is dedicated to extending
educational opportunities to people from all walks of life. If you
haven’t studied for a long time and don’t have the qualifications
traditionally required to enter higher education you may be interested
to consider the OU’s Access to Success Route.
The Access to Success Route eases people into university level study, increases confidence and study skills in just two steps:
STEP 1 – Choose one of the three OU Access Modules
· Arts and languages Access module
· People, work and society Access module
· Science, technology and maths Access module
On successful completion you will gain an OU Access Module Certificate.
STEP 2 – Choose a more in-depth Level 1 Module in a relevant subject
Choose
60 credits of OU Level 1 study which can be counted towards a
nationally-recognised qualification, up to a full undergraduate degree.
To
qualify, students must live in England, have a household income of
under £25,000 and have little or no previous university study
experience. If you think you meet this eligibility criteria you could
start your studies for just £25 (normal cost £625)!
If you
know of anyone who you think will benefit, even if they aren’t eligible,
please ask them to call us on 01908 659253 or visit
www.openuniversity.co.uk/access Remember the closing date for registrations is 9 January 2014 so don’t delay!
(what a truly brilliant scheme for UNISON members. Hat tip Eastern Region)
