Minimum time limit?

Is there a minimum time limit for OU degrees? I have been told that you get lots of freedom at the Open University so if you worked full time could you do an undergraduate degree in less than three years if you don't take holidays?

If you credit transfer from previous similar study, you can do it in one year (depending on the degree). If you mean starting from scratch, I have never heard it done.

I think that if I did not study full-time or work full-time whilst also studying at the OU, I could do my degree in 1.5 years, but I don't know if they even allow that. Some people have done more than 120 credits a year, but I don't know if you're allowed to do that anymore.
