Warning: the content within this page reflects what was communicated to students in the 2016/17 academic year. As such, this information may no longer be factually accurate.
The University is making a small change to the name of the following qualifications:
From October 2017 these qualifications will be named ‘Computing & IT and Psychology’ (with the word ‘Applied’ removed from the title).
As a student's choice of modules and completion dates will be unaffected by this administrative change, no further action needs to be taken. Instead, students should continue working towards their qualification according to their existing study plan.
On completion of one of these qualifications, students will be able to choose which title they would prefer to appear on their qualification transcript - (for example, either the Certificate of Higher Education in Computing & IT and Psychology, or the Certificate of Higher Education in Computing & IT and Applied Psychology).
In 2014 the ‘Applied Psychology’ name was chosen to distinguish this joint qualification from the single-subject Certificate of Higher Education in Psychology. However, our market research tells us that this is no longer necessary and that ‘Psychology’ is more appropriate to today’s market.
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.
