I originally went for a BEng in Mechanical Engineering the first time round. I must admit the complex maths (thermodynamics mainly) completely flummoxed me.

Funnily enough, I’m looking at that one as well. I’ve just done the online suitability test, which was fairly positive.

Thanks for the review linky, I’ll have a read.

Anna: It is probably completely undeserved as the OU has been around for a long time and there is little reason why their courses should be any less accepted.

The more I look, the more I am realising it may be my best option.

Matt,
