Use your previous HE study to help you gain an OU qualification
We are able to award credit transfer for study completed towards certain qualifications presented by professional bodies. If your study was of this nature please use the A-Z list below to find your professional body. If your professional body is there check to see whether your qualification is eligible.
If either your professional body or qualification is not shown then we are unable to consider your prior study for credit transfer.
If the professional qualification that you studied was listed on the QCF (or SCQF for qualifications completed in Scotland) at the time you completed it then we will use the QCF (or SCQF) credit rating of your previous study rather than that shown in the list of professional bodies.
Find your recognised professional bodies in the A-Z list below. Please be aware this list is currently under review and a number of qualifications that are showing as ongoing may no longer be eligible. If you have any questions about these qualifications, please contact the Credit Transfer Centre.
If you have already studied with the OU please sign in to make sure that you get the credit transfer information that is relevant to you.
