Changes to policy and curriculum

Open Degree (BD) - Regulation relaxation

Warning: the content within this page reflects what was communicated to students in the 2014/15 academic year. As such, this information may no longer be factually accurate.

The Open University has relaxed the requirement for students studying for an Open degree (BD) so that students may study 60 credits of Open University Level 1 key introductory modules if they aim to complete their degree between 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2019.

This change has been made to increase the flexibility for as many students as possible to complete their studies before the qualification is withdrawn in 2019.

Please talk to your Student Support Team if you need any further information. You can find out how to contact them on Contact the OU.
