Collaborative schemes give you the opportunity to study subjects not currently offered by The Open University, and to count the credit from these courses towards some OU qualifications. They are operated jointly by The Open University (The OU) and other UK universities/institutions.
Courses within these schemes are referred to as collaborative courses. You can count them towards various OU qualifications and so given OU module codes (these codes are different from the course codes used by the university/insitution you study them at).
