Credit transfer

Why should I apply?

Save time and cost - If you're awarded credit you'll have less modules to study, so you'll pay less and finish sooner.

Avoid repetition - You won't have to repeat previously completed learning.

Lose nothing - You won't lose any credit from your previous study.

Over 6,000 people are awarded credit transfer each year.

I had already done a couple of years at another university but didn't finish. I wanted to finish my studies whilst working and the OU fitted in part-time really well. It was really easy to do – everyone at the OU was really helpful.
