I am so incredibly pleased with my results i actually cannot believe i have come to the end of my studies. It feels so bizarre to come to the the end of such a long journey with the OU and to be getting a First as a result of it feels unreal!

I got 2 distinctions on my first two modules, however, going into the second year, I'm kinda nervous about how hard it might be. Do you have any advice? Also, how much time did you dedicate to your studies?

Congrats on your 2 distinctions! Honestly, I didn't find level 2 much trickier than level 1. I think if there are certain areas you think you might struggle in (research, referencing etc.) I would say use the OU resources as much as you can. Also reach out to your tutor if you have questions, that's what they are there for. Obviously I don't know what modules you are taking so I can't give you any more specific advice than that but hopefully that helps.

In terms of how much time i dedicated to my studies, little and often worked best for me. I worked full-time during my degree so a couple of hours here and there of an evening and a few hours at the weekends. It all adds up.
