Ordinary to honours

Hi, I was just wondering if I can change my ordinary degree to an honours degree As I am graduating this year and I would like to gain in honours degree. And I’m not sure what the process is. I’m currently studying Law with Business and wondered how I can change to an honours after graduation maybe even before graduation

Are you not already enrolled on an honours degree?

No what happened was? I failed? The module in second year and they gave me the opportunity to do an ordinary degree but I’m kind of going back on this decision now.

Can I just check you posted in the right subforum? The OU doesn't offer that degree so I assume you want to get an OU honours degree by transferring credit from elsewhere else? The way you say "maybe even before graduation" gives me pause.

To be clear, assuming the best possible circumstances (max credit transfer followed by full-time stage 3), this would involve a bare minimum of a year's OU study. You may or may not be able to get a student loan for it, it might have accreditation consequences, and you'd need to think ahead about how you'd present it on a CV.

But yes, it's possible.
