You may be able to use your previous study to reduce the time and cost of completing your degree. If you studied for your existing degree at another university and would like to use your previous study, you may be able to count up to 240 credits towards an Open University degree. This would mean you’d only study enough modules to make up the credit needed to complete your OU degree instead of starting it from the beginning. For more information and how to apply, see our credit transfer website.
