Hi, I can apply as I did my MSc with the Open University. Distance learning is a good thing as you have your deadlines to do your coursework, I got my textbooks I'd need for my course in my pack. I got lists and topics to cover during this time. Assignments are all essays and some of mine were online quizzes. It may also be a good idea to look for getting your computer (if you don't use skype or that programs) can support various systems when the lecturers are giving seminars over the net. Of course my old lappie couldn't access this and my old desktop was wayyyyyyy too slow for the sortware.
I think you'd enjoy doing it!
