Hi Sherrold,

It is great that you are considering studying with the Open University. Honours degrees are level 6 on the qualifications framework.

https://www.gov.uk/what-different-qualification-levels-mean/list-of-qualification-levels

If your previous study was within the last 16 years, you may apply for a Credit Transfer. This is the process that the university uses to assess your previous study and see how much of your previous study can count.

There is no cost to apply, and no obligation to study with the OU if you apply for the Credit Transfer.  If you are planning to start your studies in October 2022, the deadline for credit transfer applications is 11th August 2022.

You can find the application form, and more information on the Credit Transfer process here:

https://www.open.ac.uk/study/credit-transfer/

The closer your previous study matches what is required on the OU qualification, the more likely that credit can be awarded. You can apply to have your previous study assessed towards up to 3 different qualifications. You can take a look at the honours degrees related to Sociology that we offer here:
