Sorry, bad maths! It will cost £15k for an average degree course from Sept 2012. Currently its £4k which can be spread over the several years it takes to do the modules so it can work out quite cost effectively. For anyone interested it might be worthwhile enrolling now so that the fees stay the same.

Personally I think this will be the end for the OU as many people do it out of personal interest and gradual career development whilst working in some other fields and £15k is not something that someone with a mortgage/ rent and family committments will justify spending very easily.
