Application for Year 2 or 3 Entry (RPL: Record of Prior Learning)

Thank you for your application for a place on year 2 or 3 of your chosen course. 

Assessment of RPL is based on the following criteria:

• Authenticity and sufficiency: that the learning has been undertaken by the candidate and has been fully achieved. 
• Relevance and Equivalence: that the evidence produced relates sufficiently well to the module or programme learning outcomes.
• Quality: that the structure, process and outcomes of the learning experience are of comparable quality with other accredited learning experiences, including attention to academic level.
• Currency: that the evidence relates to current learning.
• This application is consistent with the agreed mapping for the programme. 

Before we can consider your application, we require some information from you to enable us to make a decision.

Evidence of qualifications

Please attach copies of all qualifications, that would qualify you to join the second or third year of the course you have applied for, to your student portal. For example, if you are applying to join Year 2, you should provide evidence of your Level 4 (year 1 of a degree) study. If you are applying to join Year 3, you should provide evidence of both your Level 4 and Level 5 study. 

Module Information

Please provide us with a list of the modules you have completed (or are currently completing) within your qualification by completing the application form below. Once completed, this form will need saving and uploading to your student portal.

We also require copies of your module handbooks, detailing their full content and identifying the learning outcomes of the modules.  You can request these from your current programme leader or faculty administration office.  The mapping process cannot be completed without this information. 

If you are still in the process of completing your highest qualification (to be used to match our current first and/or second year modules), you should include detailed information on the modules you are currently completing

Deadline

Please can all of the required documentation be uploaded to your student portal within 2 weeks of your application being lodged, in order to give the faculty time to process the module mapping.

Please note that we will be unable to progress your application further without this information. If we do not receive a response from you within 14 days, your application may be withdrawn.
