It doesn’t seem that long since I was celebrating the success of passing my first module of my degree with The Open University. Now it is less than a month until I start the next course. I will be studying Rules, rights and justice: an introduction to law (W100).

This course provides an overview of a range of legal concepts and an introduction to legal study skills…

It is designed for those who are new to study at university level. It builds both subject knowledge and the core study skills needed for higher education and distance learning, helping you progress to Levels 2 and 3, or move on to other areas of academic study. By the end of the course, you’ll be expected to work  at the level required of a first-year undergraduate student.

Law Prospectus, The Open University

I’m looking forward to the course starting, and to working on the assignments.

Now, if anyone is stuck thinking of a present for me for birthday, or anything in the next few years, as I work towards the Bachelor of Laws degree, I’d really appreciate it if you considered buying me OU vouchers instead of a physical present. As the OU Law Prospectus guide says

OU vouchers make an inspiring present, ideal if you are looking for an unusual gift for someone special…

Anyone looking to buy them, can do so by click www.open.ac.uk/gift-vouchers/
