UCAS and Open University
I am currently studying a CertHE (level 4) at Open University, which I chose to do instead of Levels (which I should of taken in 2026).
I am now wanting to study Social Work at a Brick Uni (either Leeds Beckett or Ulster).
However, I haven't found a single university which takes a Level 4, which I am confused about because it is higher then a Level 3.
Anyone been in this position or have any advice?

Just email the admissions team at the Unis you intend to apply to and tell them the names/codes of the OU units you have taken. The majority of Unis will accept OU units with no dramas.
