I am wondering if credits can be transferred to OU for units in a year of a degree not quite completed?
I completed a year of a healthcare related degree which had some modules that could be transferred I think. I then completed all academic modules of the second year but didn’t complete the year/get a Lvl 5 qualification because I didn’t complete placement. I have also done the same with a year of a different healthcare degree, most modules completed at Lvl 4 but no placement so didn’t complete the year. But across all that study I’m sure there could be enough credits to cover 120 of an OU open degree, IF partial year credits can be counted. Does that make sense?
I also have a query about student finance…
I am disabled and the reason for not finishing my SLT degree is that I can’t get to the uni/do placement. I would like to do an Open degree with mostly English to be able to complete a degree/not waste my previous study. I’m looking to study 120 credits a year, so full time. I live in Devon with very few brick unis around.
My question is… would I be in with a chance of a SF maintenance loan because I can’t attend a brick Uni degree?
(a) open degrees aren’t a thing at a brick uni so if I had to do the degree at a brick uni I’d have to start from Yr 1 because credit transfer wouldn’t be an option
(b) I don’t have the UCAS points to get on a brick Uni English degree
(c) my health would severely inhibit me accessing campus for a brick Uni degree
Thanks
