Hiran says
If you have only completed the O/L exam, you may not be eligible to directly enroll in a degree program at most universities, including the Open University. However, there is a path to obtain a degree through the foundation course offered by the Open University, as described in this Post.
To get started, you can visit the Open University website and review the foundation course and degree programs available. You can also contact the Open University student services department for more information and guidance on how to enroll in the foundation course.
Keep in mind that obtaining a degree requires dedication and hard work. It may take several years to complete a degree program, but with the right mindset and support, you can achieve your goal of becoming a degree holder. Best of luck in your academic journey!
