Recognition of Prior Learning

Recognition of Prior Learning, Transfer Process and Progression Agreements

Welcome to the RPL and Transfer guidance page for the School of Nursing and Midwifery and School of Life and Health Sciences.

It covers the process of RPL towards both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. It will also explain how to transfer ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø credits you have gained from modules and interim awards during your time studying with us into a ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø award such as a Postgraduate Certificate / Diploma or Master’s.

There are two mechanisms through which ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø can recognise your prior learning:

  • RPL process for those who have studied and gained university credits at a different institution to ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø.

  • Transfer process for those who have gained university credits studying courses at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø.

If you think you can apply for RPL or Transfer of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø credits towards a particular course and wish to gain advice about this process please email:
