Tuition fees at the Open Uni in Milton Keynes is paid per module (or course) as one studies them. This allows students to spread the cost of their studies over the course duration (several months or years).

For UG courses, students usually prusue one 60-credit module per year (part-time) or two 60-credit modules per year (full-time). Each module has its own cost.

OU courses are mostly online. The university uses a blended approach to deliver courses. Most programs materials are delivered online, however, some courses modules may require printed materials, physical books, and use of some apps.

The programs can be delivered from back home in India, without the need to arrive to the UK.
