Updated Thursday, 24 January 2019
Some of the material presented here is from The Open University BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences qualification, which Students with an HNC or HND in Applied Science or Applied Biological Science can transfer credit to.

This page was published over 5 years ago. Please be aware that due to the passage of time, the information provided on this page may be out of date or otherwise inaccurate, and any views or opinions expressed may no longer be relevant. Some technical elements such as audio-visual and interactive media may no longer work. For more detail, see how we deal with older content.

Transferring credit from an HNC or HND reduces the time it will take to complete the BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences qualification. Visit our College Routes pages to find out more about making the most of your HNC or HND and working towards a degree with the Open University.
