How seriously would an employer take a job application from an applicant studying at the Open University [closed]
- by user866190
I ask the question because I am considering applying to a traditional bricks and mortar university to do mathematics, computer science or software engineering.
However I am in my late twenties and have a young family so I am seriously considering going down the Open University route and working in the software development industry at the same time.
If I do attend Open University, I will definitely study Mathematics.
I fell in love with PHP and the common web technologies a few years back and it has slowly progressed into learning C++, Java and also Python.
If I spent the next year increasing my knowledge of those languages whilst studying at the Open University, would an employee consider a self taught programmer who is 20% of the way through a Bsc in Mathematics?
