The Open University

Editor's Comments
After looking at over twenty UK university sites this week, I finally found a site at which to stay and explore. The Open University website adopts the theme of "openness" both in terms of design (lots of breathable white space, stunning concept photography, the light blue chrome logo, easily readable and crisp); and in terms of accessibility (W3C WAI Priority 2 level, text size changers, perfect when toggled without a stylesheet).

The sites provides an impressive courses and qualifications search. Type any keyword and see an instant return of qualifications, courses for both undergraduate and graduate.
