Credit transfer

Use your previous HE study to help you gain an OU qualification

L

We are able to consider applications for credit transfer based on overseas study if it appears on our list of recognised qualifications from one of the countries listed below.

Select the first letter of the country you studied in from the A-Z list to see if we can consider study from that country.

If your country does not appear on this list then unfortunately we cannot award any credit transfer on the basis of your previous study. However you may still be able to study with the OU.

Please select the country that you studied in from the A-Z list.
