Applying for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

At HSU we recognise the valuable experience many of our students bring to their studies.

If you have already undertaken study equivalent to elements of your chosen course you may be able to apply to have this recognised through our Recognition of Prior Learning process. You will need to provide evidence of your previous study or experience so that this can be assessed against the learning outcomes of your intended programme, but if you are successful in your application you may be exempt from completing particular units or even entire years of study on your new course.

If you are interested in applying for Recognition for Prior Learning please contact our Admissions team at  admissions@aecc.ac.uk who will be able to advise you further on your options, the process and the evidence you need to provide.

Please note that Recognition of Prior Learning applications are usually only processed once you have accepted an offer from HSU, but if you are unsure whether your previous experience might be considered we’d be happy to discuss this with you at pre-application or interview stage.

More information about our RPL process can be found in our Recruitment, Selection and Admission Policy and Procedure on our Academic Regulations, Policies and Procedures page.
