These are the Regulations which apply to qualifications studied as part of an Open University Apprenticeship Programme. The regulations in this document set out how you become an Apprentice of The Open University, how we award academic credit if you complete a module successfully, what you have to do to progress through an Open University qualification and how to meet the academic requirements for the award of a qualification. They include information about the structure of Open University qualifications, how and why we may make changes to courses, study restrictions for academic reasons, and time limits for completing your qualification. They also set out the circumstances in which you will cease to be an Open University Apprentice studying a qualification including where you, your Employer or The Open University are entitled to end the relationship before you have completed all of your intended studies.
a) Section G7 Classification of Honours degrees has been rewritten to reflect changes to the classification of Undergraduate Bachelor’s degrees with Honours approved by Senate to take effect from 1st March 2023 and to improve clarity.
b) For reference only, the replaced section was identical to Section G7 in the Academic Regulations 2021/22 (Apprentices) available on this site. Any undergraduate Honours degrees awarded prior to 1st March 2023 will be classified under the previous regulations.
