Recognition of prior learning

The University recognises that many prospective students particularly mature applicants, applying for courses have a vast range of expertise, skills and knowledge.

RPEL (Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning) and RPCL (Recognition of prior Certificated Learning) are processes that enable you to receive formal recognition for skills and knowledge you already possess that have not been previously assessed or awarded credit.

RPCL and RPEL are both available for UK and EU students.
