    Hi Folks,
    Any help you can offer me will be great.
    I was studying for my HND in electronic engineering in the UK and have completed 60 credits.(3 yrs ago)
    Due to medical problems I was unable to start back to complete the remaining modules until september last back in dublin. At the time I was told that the uni in the UK would award me the HND once I had completed all the required modules, they now have changed their rules and i'm in limbo.

    HELP....

    can you study full-time? or does it have to be part-time?

    You may be able to slot into a FT Ordinary/Hons degree - contact the ITs as this is an individual case entry procedure.

    if part-time, then there's only the OU - they'll give credit for your HND study and you can build toweards a degree............they dont do electreonic engineeering, so you may needed to broaden out.

    I am doing the remaining modules with an IT.
    But as i'm doing less than 50% with them they don't want to award me with the ordinary degree.
    And the uni in the uk seems to have revised there procedures.
    Thanks for teh reply.
