Has anyone successfully transferred credit from a previous degree to an OU degree? If so how many credits were you awarded?

Oh really? So you would have only had 120 credits left to study? Does a degree gained in (potentially) a year carry much weight?

Thank you for answering!
Just one more question, were you given the option to transfer fewer credits, say if you wanted to study year two and three? Or was it an all or nothing deal?

It just applied to do the open degree so they offered the maximum amount if wanted to i could have chosen to study a similar subject in which case i probably could have chosen to do year two, i think its down to each individual situation.
