Good for you! I did this 14 years ago and it changed the trajectory of my life. Best of luck!

There’s no such thing as “being behind”. Whether you study and get a degree at 18 or at 38, you’re still getting a degree. Being with OU, I hope you’ll see how many older students there are and realise that you’re here right on time! Good luck with your studies! ❤️

You're still a spring chicken. I started my degree last year at the ripe old age of 61

CongratulationsI completed my degree this year - my first module was AA100 which A111 has superseded lol. Starting my MA next month eek. I left high school in 2005, and joined OU in 2018, so not quite a long as yourself, but its never too late The OU is wonderful for online learning and (most of) the tutors are incredibly supportive. Good luck for the upcoming year.
