Bill Larnach BSc (Hons) (Open), Dip Comp (Open)
Since 1995 my main spare time interest has been the Open University, where I've been studying for a degree. I originally started by following my interest in psychology, but I have since concentrated on information technology and computing, and decided to follow various interests with my degree profile.
In 2000 I completed the Open University Diploma in computing, and I completed my first Degree (2:1) in 2003. It's been a lot of hard work, solely for personal achievement rather than for any vocational reasons.
