Now listening again with the script.
The Open University was established in 1969 and the first students enrolled in 1971. Like any other university, the Open University can award you a degree. However, you don’t have to stop working to study. It can also open up a whole variety of interests. If you have never studied before, you will enjoy the special, new pleasure of increasing your knowledge. You will make friends of all kinds. You may also find that your qualification provides new career opportunities.
You don’t actually go to the Open University for lectures, but study at home, using television, radio and computer software. You can study one class a month, if you wish, at an Open University centre. Of course, there are exams to pass, just like in any other university.
