Open University students with at least two credits, including at least one beyond Foundation Level, will be considered for admission direct to the second year, under the terms of a formal agreement between the two universities. Further information on credit transfer is available from the Undergraduate Admissions Office. For more details, please contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office. The closing date for applications is 15 September 2002 for courses starting in October 2002. Many of the University's courses can be taken on a part-time basis.
Students can study at their own pace, for example taking one first-year course per year.
A range of courses is available, especially in the humanities and social sciences. Therefore, the teaching times will not usually be concentrated but instead spread across the week. You should consider this if you have work or other commitments which you wish to keep alongside your studies. If you do not have passes at A-level, or the equivalent, you can still be considered for admission. If you have relevant work or other experience that can also be taken into account.
