OK, I sorted it all out for you cod. If your PGCE was after 1971 it's worth 120 points at level 2.

A BA or BSc (Hons) needs 360 points, so you'll have credit towards one third of the degree.

The OU degree will be broken down into needing x courses at level 1 (easy peasy), x courses at level 2 (still quite friendly but a bit less hand-holdy) and x courses at level 3 (scary stuff - I blundered into a horrid one on Artificial Intelligence Programming . My traffic light bot was pretty good though ).

This breakdown depends on the degree you are doing, but will probably be 60 at level 1, 120 at level 2 and 120 at level 3, with the rest made up however you like.

Cod!! Pay attention.

I thought Cod wanted to do a POSTGRAD course, in which case all the credit transfer stuff is irrelevant!

All depends what you want to do. I'm using mine to count as the non-compulsory courses for my psych degree. So it is worth 90 points for me.

arfishymeau · 23/11/2006 13:05

I'm spending more than that doing my psych stuff. And that is just to keep my brain from freezing over. I guess I could teach it later, but I don't NEED it. I could still be a science teacher without it.

My youngest is 2.9, and it was pretty hard this year. Next year will be better though (preschool).
