Academic Regulations (Taught Courses) 2026/27
In March 2026, The Open University published the Academic Regulations (Taught Courses) 2026/27.
There are some changes from the previous version of this policy (Academic Regulations (Taught Courses) 2025/26). These are:
- We have reviewed the Regulations for plain English to make them easier to read and understand.
- The maximum amount of postgraduate credit that can be counted down towards an undergraduate qualification has changed from 90 to 120 credits (section I6)
- Provision has been made in K5, Accepting an offer of a qualification, for us to award a qualification if we do not receive a response to the offer.
- Section I9 has been amended to include the 60 credit Microcredential only certificate qualification.
