Open University & study
Hi!
I have been studying on and off with the Open University for more years than I care to remember, and I am interested in far more than I will be able to study.

O.U. Courses I've taken (or am taking):
BA (Upper second class honours) (Open):
| T100 | Technology Foundation |
| S100 | Science foundation |
| TS281 | Electromagnetics & electronics |
| T291 | Instrumentation |
| M251 | Algorithmic approach to computing |
| A241 | Elements of music |
| M351 | Numerical Computation |
| M352 | Databases |
| T321 | Telecommunications systems |

Courses towards a second MSc (first is from UMIST):
| M866 | Relational Database Systems |
| PMT605 | Project Management |
| M868 | Object-Oriented Software Technology (Smalltalk V (DOS)) |
Once I've got my post graduate certificate from the University of Luton I'll send it off to find out what credit transfer I can get, and what courses will then be excluded or required. I may well then resume and complete my second MSc.
Courses towards a second BA:
| T172 | Working with our environment: Technology for a sustainable future |
| S190 | Global Warming: the science behind the headlines |
| U216 | Environment (in progress) |
Courses I am interested in:
| AT272 | Ancient and medieval cities: a technological history |
| D215 | The Shape of the World: Explorations in Human Geography |
| DU301 | A world of whose making? |
| DU310 | Environmental Policy in an international context |
| DU321 | Making the international: viewpoints, concepts and models in international politics and economics (first half of DU301). |
| MS221 | Exploring Mathematics |
| MST209 | Mathematical Methods and Models |
| MST207 | Mathematical Methods, Models and Modelling |
| T184 | Robotics and the meaning of life |
| T206 | Energy for a sustainable future |
| T210 | Environmental Control & public health |
| T211 | Design and Designing |
| T303 | Environmental Modelling, monitoring and control |
| T396 | Artificial intelligence for technology |
| TT382 | Web server management, performance and tuning |
| U213 | International Development: challenges for a world in transition |
| U316 | The Environmental Web |
U213 + U216 = Diploma in Environment and Development
U216 + DU310 = Diploma in Environmental Policy
U216 + D215 = Diploma in Geography and Environment
U213 + U216 + 120 points from {S269(30), T210(60), U213 or UZ213 (60), ST240 (30), S268 (30), T206 (60)} + at least 60 points from {S256 (30), T303 (60), DU310 (60), S330 (30} + 60 points = BA or BSc Environmental Studies (300 points (min 30 at level 3) for BA, 360 (120 at level 3) for Hons)
I am interested in understanding and modelling the environment.
Wouldn't mind an MBA too, if I get another business going, and the syllabus were particularly relevant to small businesses. I wanted to do a part time MBA at Manchester Business School, but my then employer would not have supported me and you could not do it on your own.
I would like to do a PhD, if the topic and finance were good.
I'm also interested in furthering my languages, concentrating on the topics that interest me. I was disappointed not to be able to continue French and German at the level I was at when I moved to MK.
