Entry requirements

To succeed at postgraduate level, it’s best to choose a course of study that builds on your existing qualifications or professional expertise. Each qualification and module description includes detailed information about the conditions you need to meet to be able to register for that course.

When you register, we’ll ask you to send us evidence to show that you meet the entry requirements. Read our Postgraduate entry requirements page to learn more about the skills required for successful postgraduate study.

Count your previous study

If you’ve successfully completed some postgraduate study elsewhere, you may be able to count it towards your OU postgraduate qualification – reducing the number of modules you need to study. You need to apply for credit transfer as soon as possible and before you register for your first module. For more information and to download an application form, visit our .
