What evidence do I need to provide for my overseas qualification?

If you are applying for credit transfer for a qualification studied overseas, we require an official academic transcript or diploma supplement to support your application. The transcript or diploma supplement should state the title of the qualification you were studying towards, list all of the modules or subjects you studied in each year and the marks or grades you achieved for each module including a key to the grades. If you have previously studied in Europe, please provide official confirmation of the ECTS credit rating for each module.

Depending on the OU qualification that you are applying for credit transfer towards you may also need to provide syllabus information.

If any of your documents are in a language other than English then you will also need to provide a formal translation of the documents. This must be completed by a professional translator; unfortunately we are unable to accept documents that you have translated yourself.

If you only partly completed your overseas qualification there is some additional evidence we require.
