Hi Bartonlady...sorry I don't have a direct answer to your question more a vote of agreement. I started a history degree course with the OU when each module was in the region of £600/700. I completed 3 modules, of the 6 required, then the price skyrocketed. Like you I cannot justify the cost purely for my own interest so sadly it has been shelved.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge of funding will help with your original query.

Does anyone know if funding is available for study with the OU? I was stunned at how much a degree course costs. I acknowledge that I just want to study as I'm interested in the subjects rather than for job progression/career qualifications, and that its probably more important for any funding to be given to the young. I don't feel I can justify the cost at my age (66)
