Does anyone know of a good open university that will let us learn online, my daughter wishes to get a degree and is looking to do it from home in her spare time, we do not want to get involved in any universities with a bad name.
Any help in a direction would be gratefully receieved.

Thanks,

I may have missed the point but have you tried the Open University itself?

I've done a conventional degree at a good university, another degree at the OU and have looked at various non-degree distance learning courses.

Like mrb, I feel the obvious starting point is the Open University. It's probably the most credible and flexible distance learning degree provider available, it's a lovely, helpful organisation to deal with, its course materials are superb and the summer schools and seminars are great fun and extremely accessible.

Best wishes, Linda

Thanks but no we have not tried anything yet, as we are just looking for names NOT to go to, we are starting to look today

Thank you for your reply, i briefly looked at them yesterday, and you have confirmed that this is a good starting point.
today is the start of a few in depth conversations with them.
Thanks to you both for replying so quickly
