Can I get into University with Open University Credits?

Hi! I'm 20 and a full time mum to a 6 month old while studying part time with the Open University. I'm thinking of applying to bricks & mortar university to do Social work I'm currently getting over 85% in all my assignments in social sciences I will have 60 credits by May. I don't have A-levels or level 3 qualifications but I'm wondering with already having studied somewhat at Higher education I'd have a chance getting into university?
The short answer is yes but it depends on the university and the course you want to apply for, some unis are more accommodating than others. Most unis wont mention OU credits on their websites so you will have to phone or email them individually and ask whether they accept OU credits for entry and if so, how many they require and at what level. Most unis will probably ask for 120 credits at level 1, but some ask for less so it really is worth doing your research.
