The fee is due at this stage. If students prefer to pay by instalments, payment is divided into eight parts. The first payment is due the month after the start of the course, and the last payment is due on the last month of the course. So, if your course starts in February, you would pay your first instalment in March, and your last in October. The fees vary depending on courses.
Some courses require students to read additional set books.
The Open University, unlike most other universities in the UK, does not require candidates to sit a compulsory language test. However, students have to be confident that they can express themselves in English with a high degree of competence. For more details contact the Open University in Portugal or one of the British Council examination sections . All courses have specifically written guides and units produced by experts in the field, which are complemented by audio and video materials, books, multimedia and specific software. All students have access to specific interactive software for studying and communicating with their tutors, with other students and with the university.
