Student reviews
This has been by far the most intense but without any doubt the most rewarding course I have done with the OU (and I have done 6 already). I have chosen the Dissertation in Graph Theory.
I did not have any substantial mathematical background about this particular subject, so do not be put off by the fact that you don't know "a lot" about Graph Theory. Sure, you will have to work harder, but it is definitely worth it.
The book style at first is a bit daunting, as it does require more mathematical maturity compared to other standard OU text books, but in my opinion it is a stepping stone towards paper and research mathematics (in fact once I started reading papers on the subject, I realised how well writen the book is).
The tutors are great, and really helped me and inspired me all the way to the final submission.
