Degree Awards
The AOU envisages the offering of a range of awards/degrees and certificates upon the successful completion of certain academic and practical training requirements. These may include the following types of certification:
- Certification by an undergraduate B.A./ BSc. Degree; each is worth 480 points, equivalent to 127 semester credit hours.
- Certification by a Higher (Graduate) Diploma, worth 90-120 points, equivalent to 24-32 credit hours, and open onto the Master's program.
- Certification by a Master's Degree, worth 120 points, equivalent to 32 credit hours.
In addition to regular degrees, the University will grant awards of certificates against the successful completion of specialized training courses and workshops.
For some of its programs of study, the AOU intends to offer course contents and associated course materials procured from the UKOU. Successful students of the AOU, enrolled in these programs, may, upon program validation by the OUVS, be awarded a B.A. or B.Sc. degree by the UKOU, in addition, of course, to degrees awarded by the AOU.
