Of course, to do a proper comparison you need to know how many FTEs the OU teaches. From our accounts we had 78,110 FTEs in the year to 31 July 2009, comprised of 251,639 actual students. Of course, that includes postgrads and our pre-degree level programme, so it'll be a bit misleading, but should be of the right order.
The headline figures for income are £233.7m from funding bodies and £141.6m from tuition fees and education contracts, giving a total of £375m. (Ignoring research, investment/endowment and other income - about £45m.) Taking away the modest surplus (£9.6m) gives £365.7m.
That works out at about £1500 per student, or £4700 per FTE.
