They have a good reputation and quality lecturers. Can't vouch for that particular course, but overall they are a good choice.

I see. Thanks.
The OU has always had strong distance learning teaching, I have a family member who pivoted to a new career thanks largely to getting a degree with the OU. Also completing a degree through a remote program from and provider is a great indicator of your resolve and tenacity and can easily be a great selling point to future jobs etc.
Thanks for your input!
They've been doing remote learning stuff for a very long time
I remember seeing some of their stuff come on TV late at night in the UK in the 90s and 00s.
Yes, it is. They are a fully recognised university supported by the UK government and royal charter. Their distance learning is highly regarded. In fact, many years ago the BBC would screen many Open University TV lectures for various subjects being studied.
