The Open University will withdraw the MSc in Professional Science (F60) on 31 December 2019. If a student wishes to claim this qualification they will need to satisfy all necessary academic requirements by this date.

Any students considering continuing their study towards this qualification should bear in mind that some of the modules that count towards it will also be withdrawn before the end of 2019:

• MBA stage 1: Management: perspectives and practice (B716) will begin for the final time in November 2017
