This has been assessed in accordance with approved policies and procedures and has been deemed to be at an appropriate academic level and duration. ** Subordinate qualification Another completed Open University qualification has been counted in the qualification. The details of the content of that other qualification are given in the Diploma Supplement or other transcript for it. *** Collaborative credit This study has been undertaken at another UK higher education institution under one of a number of approved schemes of academic collaboration. These are designed to enable OU students to undertake study in subject areas not offered by the Open University and count them towards an OU qualification. Credit points and levels The University uses a credit system in which 120 credits are equivalent to a full-time academic year. This system is compatible with credit accumulation and transfer schemes commonly operated by Higher Education institutions in England and Northern Ireland, with the Credit and Qualifications Framework Wales (CQFW) and with the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF). The workload rating of each module is also given in terms of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). The academic level associated with each module is given in accordance with levels approved in the relevant Qualifications Frameworks as follows: Open University module level Qualifications Frameworks for England and Northern Ireland, and Wales Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework First Second Third Masters Doctoral 4 5 6 7 8 7 8 and 9 10 11 12 Total amount of credit The total figure shows all the credit that has been counted towards this qualification, including any credit transfer, credit in a subordinate qualification, and credit from study on an approved collaborative scheme. Method of teaching The study recorded in this supplement is taught by an integrated process involving material specifically prepared for each module in written, audio and visual media, regular assignments, set books, and in most cases voluntary attendance at local tutorial sessions. Some modules require attendance at a residential school. Student performance Student performance on each module is measured in a series of continuous assessment assignments that are either tutor-marked or computer-marked to standards set down by the relevant Examination and Assessment Board, and in an examinable component, which is usually a three-hour, unseen, written examination, but might consist of a project or dissertation. The final result for each module depends on the performance in each component and on the overall weighted average. The Examination and Assessment Board for each module includes at least one external examiner whose role includes helping to ensure comparability of academic standards with other degree-awarding bodies in the UK. 4 of 4
