Hi Nadine, thanks for getting in touch. Some of our courses will start in January and February next year, the final enrolment date for most of those courses is the 12th January. However, the majority of our courses start October time, registration for October 2023 should open in the middle of March 2023.

As you have studied at another institution previously, you may be able to count this study towards an Open University qualification through a process called ‘Credit Transfer’. To be eligible for Credit Transfer your previous study must be equivalent to Higher Education Level (level 4 and above) and completed in the last 16 years in order to be considered (and depending on your choice of qualification these time scales may be shorter). 

To check whether your previous study can potentially be counted towards a qualification with us, you can use our previous study finder. I have included a direct link for this tool below:

After checking your previous study, you can then download the credit transfer application form which you need to fill out and email back to us. Please find a direct link to the application form below:

It’s free to apply for credit transfer and you are under no obligation to study with us. Nothing is taken away from your previous study – the purpose of credit transfer is simply to reduce the amount of time it will take you to gain a qualification, and reduce the overall cost. At this stage we cannot say if any credits could be transferred, you would need to make an application, which would be sent to faculty.

I hope this information helps and wish you a pleasant day.
