Evidence you will need to provide

We are unable to confirm the exact amount of credit that you will be awarded until we have received your formal application for credit transfer.

With your application you will need to provide your certificate of completion (if applicable), your academic transcripts and depending on which OU qualification you wish to study you may also need to provide syllabus information. When do we need to see syllabus information? You will also need to provide an official signed/ stamped translation of any documents that are in a language other than English.

If you have only completed part of this qualification we may be able to consider you for a partial award of the credit shown above. If you can provide evidence that you have completed a whole component of the qualification at the higher education level, such as a complete year, semester or module and that you were successful in completing the assessment of this part of the qualification (e.g. end of module examination).

You will need to provide particular evidence in order for us to award credit transfer for a partly completed overseas qualification.
