The Open University will withdraw the Masters degree in Education (F01) on 31 December 2017. This will be replaced with the new Masters degree in Education (F70). As with the F01, the F70's six year time limit for completion will apply from the date a student started their first module towards their degree.
If a student wishes to claim the F01, they will need to complete all the necessary academic requirements before it is withdrawn. All students will need to start their final module no later than October 2016, unless the usual time limit of six years to complete this qualification precedes this date.
Students may be able to transfer from the Masters degree in Education (F01) to the Masters degree in Education (F70) depending on what they have already studied.
If a student has completed and passed one of the following modules from F01 they will be able to transfer to the new qualification and proceed to Stage 2 from February 2016.
If a student has completed and passed Investigation language in action (E854), they will be able to transfer to F80 and proceed to Stage 2 from February 2017.
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.
